[...and strangely enough, despite Dist's words, and his clear discomfort, what he's saying actually makes Kato smile slightly. So that's it, then...he can't say he's too surprised. This sort of thought process is new to him too, after all...]

I understand what you're saying, Dist. It's just that...what you said, it's not quite correct.

[He's a man of a scientific persuasion; when obvious factual inaccuracies pop up, it's his duty to point them out. Leaning forward, Kato rests his elbows on his knees, letting his mask dangle between his fingers. It's probably better that Dist can see his eyes as he says this, after all.]

I just thought that, by now, you'd realize you're not alone.
