You'll go to the wall for someone — there's just a contract, and you've read every line.
You're deeply loyal — to a point, and you know exactly where the point is. You'll keep the secret, cover the story, take the side, right up until it crosses a line you decided on long ago. It's not coldness; it's that you've watched what happens to people who hand out unconditional loyalty and get it returned in IOUs. So you stay clear-eyed: loyalty is a relationship, not a hostage situation, and both people have to keep their end. The risk is that the contract can become a wall — you sometimes exit a beat too early, calling it self-respect when it's really self-protection, and miss the person who'd have earned the line you never let them reach.
