... [ She grimaces. ]

The truth but also why I ought to believe you.

[retellers]

You don't have to believe me. In fact, I have no proof of anything whatsoever.

But in that case, this conversation is as good as over.

[misstrust]

[ ... Dorothy has such a headache. ]

All right. Fine. Horrify me.

[retellers]

[ what reason do they have to tell anything to someone who clearly doesn't trust them?

they give her a polite bow, before they turn to leave. ]

If you're so curious, perhaps you should ask your friend instead.

[misstrust]

[ Rude. But also-- ]

Can you at least be a little more specific about which friend?

[retellers]

[ they just smile, if somberly. ]

Which one do you think?

[ and with that, they leave. ]
