She's not wrong. But it hurts. 9S had so eagerly set his sights on freedom because it seemed like the best thing for them. It is, she isn't telling him anything he doesn't agree with but he just can't settle. His mind is full of nothing he can find use in, nothing he can take clarity or comfort from because they're living day to day not being at all aware of what lies ahead. 9S still has the top of the line features he'd been installed with, but they only go so far with their connection to the Bunker severed.
And because of that, he feels useless. That's just another drop in the bucket of all the feelings he has going on. It sends him in a million different directions and leaves him lost.
But he can tell it's the same for 2B. And that much is solidified in her question. While he wants to love her and hate her all at once, he sits between both options for he sake of just living and doing what's required. He can't slow down now. What's done is done. Somehow? That makes his tears stop. He sniffles, rubbing at his eyes and cursing the fact that this function even exists. It's a waste of fluids. But... he's well past the need to worry about that. Considering what they've done.
He hasn't at all paid attention to how exposed he is, but a cold draft has him idly reaching for his jeans. He flits his gaze back to her again, sighing. ]
It's like you said...
Everything will be okay, so long as we stick together.
It seems so arbitrary but, I'm not about to deny it. But honestly?
[ He pauses, looking to her. Just as pleadingly as he had before. ]
