Lifes experiences tells me otherwise.in a narrative it works the other way around. if they tell you something you have to assume it's true, especially considering that we are right at the last few turns before the finish line.
You must be very trusting if you believe everything someone tells you.
An old aquaintence of mine only found out the child he had been raising for the last three years was not his when the real father turned up wanting to have contact with his kid.
Wisely my old aquantence did the right thing and took off for the hills, never saw him again.
That's just one, I could relate half a dozen more.
Never believe anything anyone tells you until you have possitive proof.
Surely that is partly what this game is about, searching for the truth.
