I think--I don't know if I want to trust you or if I simply do regardless. There's too much of myself that's...shattered, right now. I'm one person with you and Junpei, another with most everyone else. And I don't have an idea what to do with that. If it's something that can be repaired or if 'repairing' it will drive me even further down the same path as Angel and the others.

...But I trust you whether I want to or not. I've trusted you for longer than I want to admit.
