It Depends On What You Think

"Don't you think so as well, Kafka?...Don't you think that Camila is quite the cruel woman to treat her close friend like this?" Nina looked up at me and asked for my opinion, expecting me to agree with what she said, which brought her great joy and relief when I did so, as if I were the only person in the world that truly understood her.

"Of course, Nina...She's the biggest, baddest woman in the whole wide world." I said as if I were coaxing a child, which made Nina let out a satisfied smile and unconsciously wiggle her buttocks into my lap in happiness.

But even though I agreed with Nina and acted as if I believed everything she said, I knew none of it was true since I was the one who instigated this entire conversation.
