FFS….

One, these are both framed as questions in the original Japanese. QUESTIONS.

Two, that first cap utilises the yellow text for ‘truth’ so no shit, it’s talking about the same ‘warped truth’ both times. He’s trying to tease Shuichi into thinking about what he accepts as ‘truth’ and asks if it’s really absolute, not dismissing the real truth himself.

Three, he’s basically telling Shuichi, in that last cap, that he’s being deceived right there, right then, before backtracking and saying it ‘could be a lie’ after this conversation. It has nothing to do with the world, as in the first cap.

He’s specifically framing the current situation as a warning.
