The system notification suddenly appeared before Nolan's closed eyes.
"What do you mean?"
[The fact that he said you have trust issues. I think he's right, don't you?]
[Like, I mean, you chose to bury yourself underground when you wanted to undergo your first tribulation instead of believing in anyone or even the academy itself to keep you safe.]
[You literally buried yourself, Nolan. That's some serious trust issues.]
[So, why do you even have such deep trust issues?]
The system asked, and Nolan remained silent for a while before responding.
"It's just who I am…"
[It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but that's a lie.]
"Why do you think so?"
[Because everyone is born with the ability to trust.]
[Kids at birth trust anything—they even trust the flames, and that's why they put their hands in them.]
[They only stop trusting fire because they've been burned.]
