You Didn't Ask/Playing With

Basic Trope: Character who knows important information and/or holds a Plot Coupon doesn't reveal because they weren't asked for/about it.
 * Straight: Hiro is collecting the Seven Orbs of Wonder, but can't find a key to the shrine where the Orb of Crimson Flame is held. Turns out his companion Ichigo's pendant opens the shrine. When he asks why she didn't tell him, she replies "You Didn't Ask."
 * Exaggerated: Ichigo's pendant is the Orb of Crimson Flame.
 * Justified: Ichigo herself didn't realize her pendant's importance until they visited the shrine to search for clues.
 * Ichigo was told not to reveal her pendant's secret to anyone and didn't fully trust Hiro and the others until just now.
 * Downplayed: Ichigo thought Hiro knew about the pendant and didn't explain until told about it.
 * Inverted: A lot of attention is put on Ichigo's pendant, but it actually doesn't have any special effects.
 * Subverted: When they first meet, Hiro asks Ichigo about her pendant and all about the Orbs of Wonder.
 * Double Subverted: However, he didn't specifically ask whether or not her pendant was the Crimson Orb of Flame...
 * Parodied: On a New Game+, Hiro tries to claim the Orb of Crimson Flame immediately, but Ichigo doesn't understand why he wants her pendant so badly.
 * Deconstructed: Hiro is furious about the omission and stops trusting Ichigo, grilling her relentlessly and refusing to believe that she's not concealing anything else important.
 * Reconstructed: ???
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: Ichigo tells Hiro about the pendant's effects immediately, or no pendant exists and the key needs to be found.
 * Enforced: If Hiro learned about the Orb too early, it would just fall into the hands of Emperor Evulz after he has his spy Morty steal all of the Orbs they'd collected.
 * Lampshaded: "You wanted this pendant? You never asked for it."
 * Invoked: Emperor Evulz realises the heroes are about to find out the location of the last Orb, so he ensures only Ichigo finds out, knowing that she will not tell Hiro unless asked.
 * Exploited: ???
 * Defied: "Take this pendant! You're going to ask for it anyway."
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
 * Played For Laughs: Ichigo is clearly just as taken aback at her pendant's importance as everyone else, and tries to cover up her shock with an obvious lie.
 * Played For Drama: Hiro and Ichigo get into a huge fight about her not telling him just because 'he didn't ask'.

Of course, I have the back button! Wait, you want to go back? You Didn't Ask!
