It's like the others were saying earlier, I think... it's natural to want proof before you condemn someone. Bradley was fine, but there's no guarantee that the next person will be.
[Gregor's refusals and everything already was a good sign and all]
The way it all went...if anything had happened to Yuri or Rodya the rest wouldn't have had anyone to blame but themselves.
[The only one who is allowed to hurt Yuri is us, the graveyard. Unwittingly. But yeah, Sora is being a tad cold on this one, albeit...not wholly unjustifiably, all things considered. There are just so many ways things can go wrong when the culprits are pressed, given they're not in their right minds, usually]
[He's pretty sure almost everyone in the graveyard would too, even if some of their softer-hearted members have more grace and patience than Sora, or Luke himself. But he thinks Sora is completely right--all they're doing when they push is dancing with danger.]
We can keep trying to remind them, but I doubt it'll do much good. Even if they go into it intending to stay calm, nine hours is a long time to stay level-headed.
[Say, since the tour is almost over...that means the dead also have to figure things out as soon as possible. About that!]
How are you feeling about our situation? Do you think there are reasons to be optimistic?
[Truthfully, Sora...doesn't really care if she's revived or not. She has that confidence that stems only from thinking it's inevitable her world will drag her back someday, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a century. Immortal being, yeah, she has all the time in the world to waste. But there are people among this bunch here she wouldn't mind helping get back to life since apparently that's possible. If everyone is helped, so will be them.
If anything, there's a little bit of optimism peeking through when it's about this, but it's for them, not for her]
[It's a tough question for someone like Luke--someone from a relatively normal world, in which there are no miraculous recoveries. People die, and that's that. But he's been here for so long that to keep thinking that way feels narrow-minded.]
More than I did before. [If he's honest; he was not in a good place, early on.] I know Shoma and Yuri have been working hard over there--the others have too. And with the Senior Crew starting to remember things, our chances of figuring this out are getting better and better.
[...]
But people are still getting hurt and dying every week. I won't be satisfied until we can put a stop to that.
[In the end, his priority is still protecting the living.]
Little we can do from here to stop that. But they'll be fine -- if a month and half of this didn't break them, they probably can endure whatever's ahead.
[You humans and also races other than humans have proven to be so dang stubborn. Which is great when it's not directed against her, turns out. When it's on her side of the issue, then it's not bad]
[It would be difficult to endure it if everyone dies and gets stuck over here, but he doesn't say that--it's a little too pessimistic, even for a staunch realist.]
Resilient and foolish. I'd say you need to be both to truly change one's fate.
[The humans who make pact with Daemons have both enormous willpower and also must be fools for, you know, reaching out to otherworldly things in the first place. Of course she'd think that kind of humans are the ones likelier to force it all to go their way -- and in her opinion, there are enough currently alive to make it happen]

Mm, it has. [A sigh.] But I wish they understood that pushing for a confession isn't useful.

[It’s kind of puzzling for her, really. Just plain stubbornness from them all, is it?]

I can't argue with you there.
