[Even though he doesn't know her, and they are dealing with some bizarre time-space continuum error, it means a lot — probably more than even she realizes — that she isn't immediately branded a murderer, a traitor to YoRHa, someone that had failed at her most basic directive: to protect her comrades. To fight for humanity. It's the first time she's experienced anything akin to this understanding, save the flickers of it in her brief and ill-fated interactions with 2B.
She wishes he'd still leave her alone, though this is less because she wants it necessarily, and moreso because 9S and his reactions to her have been antagonistic, at best. She doesn't know what will happen if he sees her with one of his friends. To her, the depth of his hatred is an impossible thing to avoid. She was well-acquainted with rage and grief, in equal terms. Those emotions didn't go away. All they did was intensify and fester, until the person you were before them was lost.
For now, though, 9S isn't here, and so she loosens the chokehold of distance around herself for now. For a little while.
Simon's response on his Earth's virus is not unexpected but still disappointing. There was no one left to stop the one on her Earth, either. Something he says makes her frown though, curious.]

Wiped out the surface? [Where did he live, then?]
