[ Her shift in demeanor is so sudden and yet sincere that he’s startled by it. It’s the only concession Simon could make, that she doesn’t seem like a bloodthirsty killer, and her obvious misery pretty much says it all.
He doesn’t know what to do to reassure her, though, not when they barely know each other and he doesn’t really know the details of this death of the other-2B-that-is-not-the-one-he-knows. A2 didn’t even want this conversation to begin with, even if she seems less annoyed by his presence now. So he just kinda... looks off into the middle distance... next to her... ]
