[ Wow, that was quite the information bomb for Sorey. He wasn't even aware of the strict surveillance, or that endangering their lives was common ... And it is possible that all their claims could be fake. He was so overwhelmed by the technology he isn't used to, and the things behind told to him, he hadn't had much time to think on it. He's assuming this man's been here a while, to know so much about the place. Sorey didn't learn any of that at that powerpoint thing.

He feels a little bad for believing what they'd said so easily now. ]

Yeah, I think I get it a little better now. I didn't even know any of that. [ Mmmnn. ] But why bring us here just to lie to us? [ A pause. ] And ... that means that our homes might not have been destroyed, right?

[ Sorey is good at being hopeful, and he'll take this hope that everyone where he's from isn't dead right now. He's glad he ran into this person. ]
