...He needs to know the truth, Rose. I'd prefer if you told all of your friends, but him especially...it isn't a partnership between the two of you if you can't confide in him fully.

I can’t promise I’ll tell everyone, but there are some I know I can. I have to—-I have to tell Takame, at least. And Wrio and Furina.
[And then, after a moment.]
Thank you, Maxima. Truly.
