It almost feels weird to see someone who isn't part of the train crew speaking with such tiredness - or at least, Inigo can't help but read that into their tone, it might just be that it is how all people of their kind speak - about their situation. Despite the lack of personal investment. Perhaps the entire situation is just as much of a headache to the people of the Ministry.
"I think that if you are going to ask the passengers about these things, you might end up getting just as many opinions as the amount of people you talk with." Aka - everyone is going to have their own view on the situation. Inigo sure feels like his own is the most logical, but listening to what other people have been saying about the train, or about their situation.. that quickly made him change his conviction that everyone would think the same way as him.
If not just because some people seem to have a serious case of Stockholm syndrome - if Inigo knew the term, anyway.
"But as for me personally, I don't trust the train." He shakes his head. Inigo's shoulders grow a little more rigid, like he's getting more serious. Some princely diplomacy rules kicking in, somewhere in his subconscious. "I do trust it in the sense that I don't assume it would get us purposefully killed. But I do think that all information it conveys to us is coloured through its own lenses."
Does that mean Inigo trusts the Ministry?
Well, that's a big word, but so far they have done a whole lot more for him than the train. Even showing him Yuki's world from space is more than the train could ever do.
"It either refuses to or can't help us find the people we have lost, which is my own main focus right now. Not to mention that it can't seem to understand that it has taken people from worlds that were in peril, as if our own world's troubles don't mean as much to it as other world's problems."
