[Someone is feeling a bit lonely today thanks to this mouse swarm. However, talking about things like this has always been difficult for her, especially in regards to feelings. Yet, she's not sure if she can keep bottling it up either. So have an anonymous text.]


Have you noticed how these mouse Pokemon are running around in pairs or in families of three or four?

It must be nice to have someone at your side without having to worry whether they'll leave. To have a family.

Do you have a family back home? What are they like?

[There is a noticeably longer pause before his next message.]

I'm not sure. He just trusts me.

[mywayistheway]

[Huh. That’s weird.]

Why does he trust you?

[epitaffio]

I JUST said I'm not sure :/
But... since he's placed his trust in me, I do all I can to make sure it isn't misplaced.

[mywayistheway]

[Wow okay. That was two different questions but for this person it was apparently the same. Regardless this sounds very… strange.]

That’s fair.

Though if it were me I would be asking questions. People don’t usually trust others for no reason.

[epitaffio]

I guess so. But I trust him too.
And trust means believing in someone, right?

[mywayistheway]

I suppose that's one way to put it.

So then why do you trust him? Is it because he trusts you or is there more to it?

Trusting doesn't come easily to me.

[... Doppio triple-checks that he's still anonymous. Just in case.]

I think it's a pretty big deal that a man like him trusts in me.

I'm nobody special or talented, when you get down to it. But he still puts his life in my hands. It's [Bewildering sometimes, yes. But also...] an honor.

[mywayistheway]

Maybe that’s why he trusts you, because you’re nobody special or talented.

Those that are can be arrogant and egotistical. Whereas you’re more humble, and that’s a good quality to have.

[epitaffio]

It does make sense when you put it that way...

[mywayistheway]

It's only a guess. I don't know your boss and I don't really know you. But from what you've said, that's what I would assume.
