Karl's POV
I find this kind of behavior truly despicable. Bruno seems so familiar, and I really don't understand how such a situation could occur.
Bruno hesitated, his face showing a hint of discomfort.
"I... I didn't mean it; I had no idea you would be back at that time."
"Well, you certainly acted promptly. I waved my hand, and you lit a cigarette and came over. Weren't you always suppressing yourself? Why the urgency to reveal your true self in front of others?"
Bruno looked incredulous, as if he had heard a fantastical tale and questioned Karl's thoughts.
I licked my lips, too lazy to argue with him further. This person excelled at adapting to other people's topics and habits, portraying himself as a good guy to make friends. He could get along with anyone and win their trust.
