If he isn't with them anymore, then he can... say the name. Right? It won't matter anymore if his former allegiances are known. He takes a moment to try, but the word won't come out, tied down by fear of being discovered. He's supposed to be a goddamn ghost. (Even though that last mission was anything but subtle....)

What he goes with it, "My handlers. The techs. Anyone but targets, who usually don't see me." There's something, at least.

He ignores the question about wants. He knows those are a trick. You don't respond to questions about whether you want something, because both answers, yes and no, are always wrong.
