It's funny how people ask that question and then don't expect people to ask it back. [it's just a comment, and also, it's something that happens to him, too.]
I'm more worried about the kids that were watching today.
It is funny. But in my case, I don't care to look at bloodshed, but I've seen enough of ugly things like that. It isn't something I feel anyone should become used to.
Neither do I. [it's bad, actually.] It shouldn't have happened in the first place, but it sort of feels like this school is going to make us play along and get used to it anyway.
No, I...[he kind of looks embarrassed.] I didn't actually talk to her. Other people did though, so I heard some stuff she said.
It's just something I've been thinking of since we got here. We don't even know what we're up against yet, so it made sense at the time to play along and see what this world would do. Now that we know, we have to figure out another option.
[it's truly just because people keep asking and he feels dumb every time he says no, it's fine. what's important here is what caleb says and he lifts an eyebrow.]
Something's happening and we need to keep an open mind about things. Also, we'll probably get more answers if we're not accusing the only people we can have proper conversations with of kidnapping us.
[He'll get the sense he's quoting the conversation.]
I never said the dorm heads kidnapped us. And I'm not the one who tried to beat up the bear. [mostly because he saw how that went for other people. but he considers that carefully.]
...I get it though. People only show up in worlds that aren't their own when something big is happening in that world. I figured that might be what's happening here, but there's a lot of stuff that isn't familiar to me. But if we're supposed to keep an open mind then...fine.
But I'm not going to be happy if it leads to another murder.
Sorry. [a pause.] Thank you. For telling me. It's the kind of thing we should keep in mind if we're going to fix this. Even if we don't know what her reasons were, we do know she probably knew a little more than we did.
...then if something like this happens again, we'll make it a priority to try and talk to whoever it is. Just in case there's something they can tell us without consequences.

She said something similar to that - that we need to continue to play along. Or rather, start doing so.
no subject
Did she say why? Or...what that even meant?

[He just doesn't want to be misunderstood.]
She knew enough to have something to lie about.
