"I betrayed you," she said baldly.
"I betrayed you," he said.
She gave him another quick look of dislike.
"Sometimes," she said, "they threaten you with something – something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, 'Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to so-and-so.' And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't really mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there's no other way of saving yourself and you're quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself."
"All you care about is yourself," he echoed.
"And after that, you don't feel the same toward the other person any longer."
"No," he said, "you don't feel the same."

That's where "baldness" comes from. You have a plain scalp with no adornment.

You know what? You actually know what? You know why I refuted your spelling of baldly? Because I thought it was a typo for 'badly'. Where is the fucking context? I could put that down to me being tired but fuck that for an excuse.

I'm just gonna go...sit in a mud puddle. Or a pud muddle, which is what I tried to type initially.

Because "bald" doesn't have anything to do with hair. It just means undecorated. Someone who doesn't wear make-up, for instance, is technically bald.
