* A cold blooded "Yes, you fool, and you took it hook, line and sinker." 2.
* "It was real, and in another world, we could have been happy together". Of course, either of these responses can be a disguise for the other (either keeping one's options open just in case, or burning bridges to let their victim get over the betrayal.) A more extreme form of the second case is Becoming the Mask. Related to Et Tu, Brute?
