"Because it..." She froze up again, trembling and tried to add further physical distance although in the tiny mimi-sub it wasn't possible. "It hurts," she curled up slightly into herself a little protectively. "Because you wouldn't have listened before just like you're not now and I HATE that. Do you know how many times I tell Lupin the truth and he just uses it against me or ignores it or jsut doesn't see it? Men are always like that."

She sighed, "Momichi was dead. That should have been the end of it. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life rehashing something that..." She shook her head. "It's just easier to let idiots believe whatever they want. Whatever they will. I can't MAKE you change your mind. You were so certain I wanted to be your girl that when you found out THAT truth... Why make that even worse with more truth?"
