'I know I can't lie, but he also knows that,' Kyle thought. 'Talking about these things openly is rarely a good idea. Directly addressing such things can quickly ruin something that wouldn't have been ruined otherwise.'
This situation was similar to a boss asking their employee about their political or religious beliefs. If these things weren't addressed or talked about, everyone could still keep their opinions to themselves, and they could keep working together.
Yet, by addressing them, a personal rift could be created between the two parties, ruining the working relationship.
"Well," Kyle said, "it's complicated."

"I made a couple of close friends in the Array of Stars, and I don't want to betray them, but I also can't deny that I have accepted this job. Without the Cult's help, I wouldn't even have these friends, but at the same time, I also can't say that I'm fine with betraying them."
