This is not untrue. He would have much rather have given over everything to Wysteria to be tucked away somewhere. Perhaps in the Hightown house. Perhaps in her workshop. Perhaps even at the bottom of the great hole she was having dug into the earth for whatever purpose.
But Ellis cannot ask anything of Wysteria now, because she is meant to be resting, not arguing with Ellis over his pursuits and his theories and the risk he is about to undertake.
Maybe he would not have wanted to have that argument regardless. But it doesn't matter know. What might have been is not what will be, and so Ellis must make different arrangements.
"You'll not be able to tell her about them, or about the research. Not yet," follows after, just as serious. "I'll explain it all to her when I return."
