Yeah, that's not happening.
My partner is not going to claim simply because, as I explained, you would gladly take an opportunity to backstab me in just such a situation like this much like how I backstabbed you and Rome. That would leave us exposed, fully, with you able to side with town just to elim us for victory (and the added bonus of having stuck it to me in such a satisfying way).
Now, truly, there's no point in trying to strongarm you given your role. Consider this an olive branch of sorts. If you want the easy win, here it is.
If you want to spit in my face, well, gl finding my partner. Town will be chopped through, and you'll come around to our side eventually without being able to backstab me.
So, either way, I'm good.
