[ He doesn't want her to trust him but she does, and he can't stop her. The gears of friendship turn, with or without him!
...Like she could just...fear him unconditionally after knowing him for so many months. She already wanted to be friends, and maybe if she's just saying it, its because she wants to believe it. She has a secret he might hate her for, but until he knows...they're friends, right?
