[Sam's face isn't hard with disbelief. He believes all too well. It's empathy on his face, because he's been there.]
Like...it's not that I don't get it, Adora. I've been there. It's literally my job back home to deal with these sorts of creatures. There are people who died because I wasn't fast enough or somebody else wasn't fast enough. Or even died.
You didn't miss anything. You didn't know there was something TO miss. These sorts of creatures, they come in the shapes that we expect. That we trust. It didn't come to you as one of the executives. The proof we found said that it went around as a janitor. Or some of the lunch ladies. None of which you'd think twice about talking to.
It's not your fault. I know it's hard to accept it, but blaming yourself helps nobody. Especially yourself.
