“You don’t think it true? That this person loves you?” “They don’t love me anymore, if they ever did,” I insisted. “Vai’s too smart for that.” “You feel you aren’t worthy.” “I know I’m not.” “They say they love you. Why do you not believe?” “People say things like that to console others,” I tried to explain. “Ah. They lie. I lie! Vai is like me, you are saying.” “No!” I said. “Vai is nothing like you.” “But if Vai says they love you, and you believe Vai is smart and does not lie, why do you not believe? The convoluted tortures of your desires, such a twisted snail shell.”
