"They're hardly secrets. Like... I have kids. Some people's lives are harder if the planet's gone. Stuff he could learn in five seconds if he tried to know us." He's very casual about all this, but the fact that Gyre is giving some wiggle room is more than he had expected.

"Do you wanna know what I have in mind for you?" Yeah, he's got leverage on basically everyone. He wouldn't push this plan if he couldn't use it to "unite" the group.
