"It is new to me."

Not that it necessarily makes her unkind. Sure, maybe Alice isn't outwardly the nicest person here on the train, but she doesn't try to be mean on purpose either - dry wit is in her nature, but cruelty isn't.

But it still means all the same that she isn't used to receiving even a shred of kindness or consideration in return. Even if it's born from Zechs' sense of duty, of working together as a group.

"I come from a place where people would rather wish death upon each other than ever do something kind. Even if they were supposed to cooperate." Hence her reaction to all this.
