People. They trust that everyone around them remains willfully blind.
How sad that it's a bet with very good odds.

I have neither.
And you of all people should know by now... that I don't trust.

I trust, but I don't trust everyone. Does that make me pathetic?

Trust is a problem only when one is suspicious of friends and trusting those that should be enemies.
I never said that trusting in someone deserving of it was pathetic. However, because you do not trust me not to call you pathetic, your paranoia invented the insult.
That is what I am talking about.

... I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to be so quick to assume.
You're correct. I trust my allies, and I am wary of my enemies. But... in cases such as yours, I'm not sure what to do.
I want to trust you, because I... still think of you as my friend. Even if you don't. But at the same time, how you've acted towards me and how you've treated me in the past makes me suspicious. You've hurt me in the past, and yet I remain like a foolish puppy.
Something changed in you. I saw it. I was reprimanded for unintentionally bringing it up. I'm not sure what it was, but you were so... happy. You trusted me more easily.

You were perfectly happy while you were here. You spoke of your parents. You've never talked about them before.
I can only derive from this that... something happened on your birthday. Something that... involved your parents.

What do you think happened, Negi?

If my assumptions are correct, and that birthday is indeed the point where you so drastically changed, something traumatic had to have happened. I'm not sure that something happening to your eye would be enough to change your entire attitude, because I've seen other people with similar disabilities that haven't been so drastically affected. Whatever happened to your eye, it could have very well happened during the event that resulted in your change. It would either have to have been a personal trauma, or something involving your family.
Seeing as you are still alive... I'm sorry, but as morbid as it may be... it makes me believe that one member of, if not your entire family, died that day.
