Panel 1: “Isn’t it possible for a friend like me to not believe you and yet support you?”

Panel 2: “Friends need to be believed. That’s like saying, ‘I’ll ignore your needs, but I’ll do some other thing, and I expect you to still count it as helping.'”

Panel 3: “Ouch, that hurts! Believe me, I’d never intend something like that!”
“Believe you? How about I just support you?”
