Either way, I appreciate the honesty. I don't doubt there're gonna be things you guys can't tell us. Likewise, there'll probably be things we can't tell you either. That's how the game's designed.

But if anything, all I'd ask is that you guys don't go after us. I'm not expecting a promise. It's just an ask. [ because in order to stay in first place, more work will have to be done. ]

Both of us really, really don't want that to happen. Maybe instead of promise, it's more like "hope." But after you guys have been so nice to us, I don't think either of us could stand the idea of hurting any of you.
