It's hard to do that here. He thinks Mephisto will realize that more and more the longer he's been here, because people will do whatever they can to try to get him to open up, whether he himself realizes it or not. Till, on the other hand, feels like he's constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop and for Urak to explode out of the forest and slap a gag on him. Or, better yet, just fucking have him shot dead for leaving in the first place. You know that works too.
He really doesn't know how to think or feel, most of the time. Especially when he's been treated kinder here than he has by almost everyone else in his life. Mephisto is telling him that this kindness, too, is the path to manipulation, and he feels it worm its way into the back of his mind.
Maybe he will internalize it. Maybe he won't. It all depends on how things go from here.]
The people here are...too kind. I still don't really get it.
[Why does he feel so much like he's talking to a kindred spirit, even though Mephisto is so much younger than he is? He doesn't even have to think about it, he can just sense it from the way he talks.]
