It's...a little bit reassuring. It's also a little bit odd, to be talking to someone (something feels just rude, because even if he's a machine, he's still talking and thinking, right?) like this. But he's also cleaning up, so they have something in common, and he's being kind and optimistic, which is kind of what Mirele is looking for right now.

Mirele also wants to be optimistic, but it's not always easy, especially when he's fully aware of how fragile people can be. And sure, he doesn't have the same knowledge of everyone here, so maybe they're sturdier than the people he knows or the person he used to be, but--

He realizes he's just been staring without saying anything.

"You're probably right, but...I mean, if something did happen, we'd have no way of knowing, right? Would we ever find out? How long do you think they'll be gone?"
