You have an item don't you? Stranger said a few things to me which lead me to believe they were soft claiming the item giver
Not that it really matters I suppose, your vote is my command
vote stranger
what does that have to do with being third party
anyways im on pc now, my point before was that with how stranger said it, it read to me as though it was just 'i feel bad for hip so i think that might be why im townreading him', not 'i feel he was targetted so that might be why i townread him', since if it was the latter id expect her to elaborate on that logic instead of leaving it out
it could've been 'i feel bad for him since it seemed he was targetted, and the fact he was targetted makes me townread him' but she worded it as though it was the feeling bad for him that was influencing her read specifically, not the logic behind why she might have felt bad for him, since she attributed the feeling as the cause not the cause of the feeling, so it read to me as though it was the feeling of compassion in isolation that she considered to be influencing her read, which seems strange to me, which is why it felt like a fake read to make it seem more deep or uncertain
but now that ive explained this it does kinda feel tunnely and unreasonable since i could easily see her just wording it in that way even though she meant that the cause of the feeling would be influencing her read, or even mistaking the feeling for the cause of uncertainty rather than the logic behind the feeling, and seems unreasonable of me to expect her mind to have specifically worked in that way just because i think that way makes the most sense
so tbh im gonna drop this reason of suspicion but im still suspicious of the other stuff i said
