Shadow milk cookie has been betrayed not once, not twice but four times and is going to be become five with dark enchantress and he's either going to crash out even more or not give a fuck so-
First, he thinks the witches abandoned him and he has been thinking on what could he do for the witches to notice again
Two, he got betrayed by the cookies aka the cookies not believe what the truth or lie was about and just twisted it to their own benefits
Three, the whole truthless recluse thing where shadow milk thought that pure vanilla was going to finally join him in deceit but then nope pure vanilla awakened and you know what happens
Fourth, founding out elder faerie and silent salt was the one to sealed away all the beast
If he doesn't have trust issues by this point I'mma be shocked
