- The truth is, i was ashamed of being in the Arañas, and I was afraid if I told you the truth about my past that you would stop trusting me. I thought there was too much at stake for me to be honest about who I really am. But it was lying about my past and keeping you in the dark that lost your trust. I am the light meta in those photos, and I've never really told anyone that before. And right now, I'm going to save us. All you have to do is trust me.
