That was interesting. It went in an entirely different direction then I would've expected in the first 2/3rds, and I liked it. When I was younger, I knew a young boy who always thought he could tell precisely what everyone else was thinking. He didn't like me because I rarely spoke (because I preferred books) {and silently judging people}. I didn't like him because I thought he was very pretentious and didn't know much about anything.

This made me wonder - what if a kid like that grew up? What if they - rightly or wrongly - felt they could tell when someone lies? What sort of ways would that wreck someone mentally..? A lot of folks feel a sense of self apathy in this day and age, and the closing statement does a very good job of leaving the reader disturbed. I liked it - I liked it a lot, in fact. And that is no lie!
