Ah, guess I should start distrusting you right now too then, right?
[ Despite how deadpan-like she reacts to what he's saying, she is really considering it. Yes, it's true, she's been trusting more and more people lately, she can think of a whole list of people she would actually trust with her life more or less here.. compared to back home that's almost a shock. ]
... When it comes down to it though.. of course I'd trust Battler onii-chan. He's my brother, you can't tell me to distrust even my own direct family, right? This isn't like Eva oba-san.
[ his tone is jovial as ever, although his eyes aren't. though it might sound like it's joking, upon closer inspection it should be quite clear that he isn't. even when it comes to him. ]
Even though you say that... trusting him is what got you in this mess, isn't it? Whether it was really him or not... you let your guard down because you thought it was.
[ Even if she huffs a little, he's getting a serious answer in return as well - because she can vaguely sense that below his usual behaviour there's something else right now. But.. she does think he's right, in a way it's her own fault, but should she even have to suspect one of the people she's always cared about most..? ]

[ in other words, yes it is your fault... he just doesn't want to say so directly. ]
It's about figuring out how to avoid letting it happen again.

How about you jump in in time next time to avoid letting it happen again. It's your job, not mine.
