It's a sort of dark relief that, with all that he's missing, Matt's greatest and most persistent superpower seems intact: underestimation. He's not about to correct her or give her reason to realize that he couldn't feel any more different than he does right now. Like he's been locked into a body that doesn't belong to him -- something heavy and foreign. Matt sinks to the edge of her bed and chuckles. "Good guess."

When the younger girl jumps right into hypothesizing, he bows his head to listen. There are a million explanations for what's happened that seem logical enough, given his own history, but what matters to him much more is how they're going to find their way out of here. How they break the hypnosis or overcome whoever's twisting their minds. "You're probably right," he agrees. "So what do you think? How do we get out?"
