[ 2B understands how 9S feels, primarily because it's the same as she does. They're devoid of purpose now that they've cut themselves off from the one thing that gave it to them, and for an android centered around their prime directives, the lack of purpose is devastating. By all means, they shouldn't be able to function. Knowing that their entire cause was false is enough to send any unit of YoRHa reeling, but to actively sever their connection to the Bunker because of it? It's inconceivable.
2B finds herself thinking back to their gods and whether or not she'll get the chance to kill them. Part of her knows that since they've finally escaped that neverending cycle of life and death that such an ideal is likely unnecessary, but she can't deny that she wants some sort of revenge. She knows that 9S' safety and happiness takes priority, but some dark, fearsome part of her wants nothing more than to tear down Command and everything it stands for, even though she knows that they aren't the ones to blame.

In reality, she's terrified, but she can't let that show. 9S needs stability. Support. She can't give him that if she's scared. ]
I won't let anything happen to you.
[ She's said it before, and she's saying it again now. She'll say it over and over until it reassures him, even if things seem fairly bleak from their current standpoint. ]
