One session on a role a scammer invents for himself.
A stranger in a gaming group chat offers to hold both sides of a trade so neither person gets cheated. Kai sends his item first.
The first two units in this line are about not handing something over too early. This one is different: it is about how a position of trust gets manufactured out of nothing.
Trust is something a group confers, not something a person can claim about themselves. Anyone who introduces themselves as trustworthy has told you about their intentions rather than their record — which is a pattern that shows up far beyond gaming.
