I did not inform Ethan about my true identity—not directly at least— and he wisely did not prod deeper than he should have.
In this regard, I treated Cloud, Ethan and Moon all the same. A friend is someone you recognize because of who they are and not because of their identity or their background.

There was nothing much I could do about this though.
