"How could you do this to me?"
"I must be a great actor if you believed me that easily."
"You're the last person I would have thought could betray me."
"Next time think twice before you trust someone so completely.""Oh believe me, I will."
"I always told you that you're too naive for this world."
"What kind of person could look me straight in the eye and lie to me, just to stab me in the back, the second I let my guard down?"

"I didn't want it to be like this, but I had no control!"

"When were you going to tell me about this?" "Why me? Of all people, why me?"
"You planned this all from the beginning?" "I wanted so badly to think you were different." "How could you lead me along like that?" "None of what we had was ever real, was it?"

"I would have done anything for you, but you've ruined all of that."
"All of the things I sacrificed for you didn't mean a thing?"
"I wish I had known when we met that you were such a vile person."
"If I could go back, I would just walk away."
"I forgive you, but I'm not going to forget what you did."
"No. I don't accept your apology."
"After all your lies, how do I know you mean it when you say you're sorry?"

"How could you do this to me?"
"I must be a great actor if you believed me that easily."

"I always told you that you're too naive for this world."

"I hope I could teach you a useful life lesson."
"You... why did it have to be you?!"
"I almost hate doing this to you. But not really."
"You lied to me! You lied to me over and over and over again!"
"How could I ever believe another word you tell me?"
"I told you not to get too close to me."
"From the day we met, I knew I'd hurt you eventually."
"I wish you never had trusted me."
"I told you to leave, but you didn't. I gave you the chance!" "We were never friends. I'm so sorry."
"I did something terrible."
"It was inevitable, but I regretted it every step of the way."
"I'm mainly sorry that somewhere along the way, I started to care about you." "I guess this is a lesson in not trusting people, right?"
"How long?...Since the beginning."
"I wish I could just make a wish and become a better person."
"None if it was real, but I wish it was."
"Do you think I liked hurting you?"
"I hurt people. It's all I'm good at."
"I did it because I had to, not because I ever wanted to."
"I-did- care about you, I just had no other choice."
"You should have walked away when you had the chance."
"If we had never met, it would have saved us both some grief."
"I know it hurts, but I'm still glad we had the chance to know each other."
"Hurting you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
"I didn't want it to be like this, but I had no control!"
"I guess I've just never been a trustworthy person."
"I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to forgive me either."
"So? Aren't you going to say something?"
"If I tell you what I did, we'll probably never see one another again."
"When were you going to tell me about this?" "Why me? Of all people, why me?"
"You planned this all from the beginning?" "I wanted so badly to think you were different." "How could you lead me along like that?" "None of what we had was ever real, was it?"
"So, our friendship didn't mean anything to you?"
"I would have done anything for you, but you've ruined all of that."
"All of the things I sacrificed for you didn't mean a thing?"
"I wish I had known when we met that you were such a vile person."
"If I could go back, I would just walk away."
"I forgive you, but I'm not going to forget what you did."
"No. I don't accept your apology."
"After all your lies, how do I know you mean it when you say you're sorry?"
"I hope you realized what you did was cruel."
"I still care about you."
*Just tell me that your feelings towards me were genuine."
"What on earth is worth betraying someone who loves you?"
"If you want to regain my trust, you have to earn it." "Don't just say you're sorry. Show me that you're sorry."
And then they said...
"Honestly, the fact that you didn't see my betrayal coming is the most insulting part of this." "What makes you think I didn't see it?" "The fact that you're here, unarmed, and alone." "Oh please. I'm a necromancer. I'm never alone."
