She shrugs a little. She doesn't know him that well either but...
"He seemed okay at the time. I mean, he seemed to understand that it was-- that I had my reasons for not telling everyone."
And she thought they were plenty good reasons.
"So when I told him he should wear a mask and he was already screwed up from the gas he just...kinda...he didn't trust me."
And therein lies the conflict: is it her fault for getting close to humans at all, or is it her fault for being less than completely honest? Either way, it's her fault. But she doesn't know which thing is the problem and therefore doesn't know how to solve it.
