Yuki Nagato is just always quiet and emotionless (again except Disappearance).
When I said "dere" like that I just mean "it should not be in the -dere family with tsundere etc.". But yes, a quiet girl who only talks to certain people can be literally dere (sweet).

Again, there's no requirement for there to be any '
hiding' of characteristics.
It's simply used to describe a person with those two sides to them.
Otherwise by your description any girl that plainly shows both sides of her tsun and dere in the
first episode to the characters in the show and to the audience, isn't a tsundere because she isn't hiding anything.
(^ Though some people would argue that this is technically the old definition of the term)
