Would you give a friend an alibi for something small?
A friend asks you to say they were with you last night. They do not say why and you do not ask. It is a small thing, and saying yes would cost you nothing but a sentence. Saying no feels harsh. Saying yes feels like a quiet lie with your name on it. What counts as small depends on who you are.

Why people pick each side
Say yes
Saying yes leans Loyalty: you protect the people you care about and assume they have a reason, even if you do not know the whole story.
Refuse
Refusing leans Candor: you do not say things you do not know to be true, even for a friend, and you believe that line makes your word worth more.
