“Your secret is safe with my indifference” - Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III

Not paying attention is how I developed a reputation for integrity!

Many years ago, a girl in our class was telling a friend and me a secret. Then she addressed my friend to say that it is a secret and he shouldn’t tell it to others. My friend complained that he knew to keep it secret and why she wasn’t addressing me as well. Then she said that I don’t tell stuff like that to others.

Yeah, ten seconds earlier, I was the one who suddenly realized that, oh right, it’s a secret, when she addressed my friend.

Like, no, I probably wouldn’t have told it to anyone, but I feel like I got way too much credit, just because I’m not terribly talkative.

And I talk to no one.

But if they don’t have it, how can it be safe “with them”?
