How to Lie, a speedrun:
Tell them something they want to hear without revealing what you're actually trying to hide

Wilhelm if they come for you it's because I dragged you through the streets, that's why they came for me

Do not tell them about your tarot card

Make up any lie you have to but do not tell them.

Actually, better yet, say it was my fault and you tried to help.

That'll make you feel better I'm sure.
