Mono fell silent again, thinking about that a bit. “I guess that’s true... They try to get it, but I think it’s hard for them to understand.” And even if Tommy didn’t fully get it, he seemed to more than some other people. Mono had started to pick up on it with a few people, people who understood more easily than others based on their reactions. Which made it a bit difficult sometimes to figure out how to talk to them.

But it was weirdly comforting to have the people who did get it, even if he sometimes felt a bit bad. Because going through bad stuff like they had...? The kid wished they hadn’t, especially people he cared about.

“And it’s important to stick together, stuffs easier when you got people than it is when you’re alone. Six and I kinda figured that out after a while.” The kid added with a little nod. Though it had more been her that hadn't been as keen on the idea at first. He had to win her over... Mostly by being useful. But to be fair, Mono knew he his people skills hadn't proved to be good.
