They sit themselves, taking a place to face Madoka to an opposite. Cushion or recliner chair, they'll mirror a similar manner of sitting as the young girl.

"A year can be a very long time. You've had to endure that, confined to a vehicle that travels in a space you don't understand, far away from home. And losing people - even if you are not fond of the voidcraft, I imagine you must have individuals you care for."

On a surface level, it repeats some of what Madoka says. But it's said with sympathy, an attempt to understand. An assumption on the end, but Ten-Nank continues first, than wait for an answer on if it was right or wrong.

"Don't discredit yourself. You are who you are, and it is the job of the Ministry to understand who everyone it comes in contact is. You have been to many places to help them, met individuals from different - and similar - areas of existence, too. But the void - it is vast, and the systems it can connect to are many, even more. Individuals are different. Societies are different. The rules and beliefs followed, different. For the same reason you would worry about coming across as dumb, I could give the same apology: for not being able to adjust myself to better empathise with the perspective of each passenger. I am limited. I have knowledge of the ways people can be, the ways they can think, but I have to meet individuals, gain information, to better understand. To find out what they understand. But this is the same with many people over different existences - to learn, we must experience. We are who we are."
