Thank you for trusting me.

And about the Snake, you know... sometimes people need to believe in things that just obviously aren't true. They need it to keep their emotional state grounded in the face of absolute horror. For example, the Snake's reaction to exactly what the Wolf King portrait depicted, and how his immediate jump was: "Well, he's still benevolent, he's obviously just been twisted by Blossom."

But if Blossom doesn't exist, then that's like removing a domino in a long stack he's set up.
