It was in Nekane's nature to collect information, not just as a detective but to feed their obsession with knowing things about people. They are keeping whatever Héctor says in mind.

Nekane pauses for a long time, figuring something out to say. The lying and sidestepping probably clued Héctor into the fact that the detective rarely shared things about themself and now that they have to it is difficult not to lie, even if the 'no questions' was agreed upon.]
...I have a phobia of the dark. Had it for a long fucking time. Probably going to have it forever.
[It was something their former boss said. That it was impossible to be 'fixed' by the standards Nekane had back then.]
