Something I Feel is Kind of Dumb

[Kidpen he/him]

So, we don't know exactly what happens, but in book 2 we can probably assume Joel will not necessarily tell about Nalizar's lies because no one would believe him. But I think that telling police/friends would be fine, because the reason they didn't believe before is cause of the fact that he didn't know for sure. Now he has proof, even if only he can see it, and nobody close to him has actively called him a liar about events, only that he was coming to false conclusions. Admittedly this could all be irrelevant in book 2, but I wanted to vent.
