Short answer: because Olive had lied and endangered people — once someone you trust is revealed to be the person who was secretly sabotaging or attacking your team, it’s natural (and often rational) to withhold trust until they prove they’ve changed and aren’t still a threat.
More detail — reasons Shinobi would reasonably refuse to trust Olive after the Shadow Walker reveal
- Betrayal of secrecy: Olive kept a double life. The discovery shows deliberate deception, which breaks the basic social contract of trust.
- Direct harm or endangerment: If Olive, as the Shadow Walker, caused injuries, set traps, stole intel, or otherwise put people at risk, Shinobi has every reason to be protective and suspicious.
- Unclear motives: Knowing someone did bad things but not why — whether for revenge, coercion, money, or to manipulate the team — makes it unsafe to assume they won’t do it again.
- Pattern and capability: Being the Shadow Walker proved Olive had the means, skill, and opportunity to continue harmful actions; that raises the stakes.
- Responsibility to others: As a teammate/leader, Shinobi must prioritize the safety of the rest of the Spy Ninjas; trusting too soon could jeopardize them.
- Emotional response: Shock, anger, and hurt are natural; distrust can be an emotional defense as well as a practical one.
What Olive would need to do to rebuild trust
- Full, honest confession explaining motives and how/why it happened.
- Actions, not just words: consistent, verifiable behavior over time that shows loyalty to the team.
- Make amends: help undo the damage, share information that helps, and accept consequences.
- Transparency and oversight: open communication, allowing others to verify intentions, and not being left alone in sensitive situations.
- Time: trust is usually earned back slowly, through repeated trustworthy acts.
