Charles and I have been through this before, remember? Everyone familiar with 'Mayfield', for that matter. Highly questionable town ran by sadistic childish entities that may or may not embody the devil in the flesh. I didn't think us dying here would have a big impact in the grand scheme of things even back home, so I never had any personal stakes in the game apart from Joshua and Charles' amusement and well-being. It's a lot easier to give others the benefit of the doubt and hand trust out freely when it's okay no matter what happens to it!

Besides, befriending miss Vessalius had her tell me you were the one who told her to claim Bloodhound, the fact that all of you made Critter upset by seriously thinking to kill Rapunzel's pet lizard during your nightly meetings, and the confirmation that whatever the wolves are fighting for, it'll be realized even after your deaths - except the Lone Wolf at least, but Holden told me that after I got here. Those were all neat pieces of information! I don't think I could've obtained that if things turned out any other way. Speaking of which, who suggested to kill the lizard, anyway? That's excessively silly no matter how I try picturing it...
