You're incredible." "Not to be victim-blaming here, but don't you think you're at fault here too? You were so stupid!" "Stay away from toxic friends like her. She'll suck you dry and leave you hanging!" I thought the same, actually. I'd been friends with Cindy for years now. If I hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't have known how she truly saw me.
