3 ….is loyalty It tells me that the two friends must

be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them.

4 ….because if not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other their most intimate secrets.

5 ….because they cannot keep a secret, either of their own or others’.
