There haven't been many kids brought into Etraya. The vast majority have been adults, or at least older teens, which Accelerator is perfectly fine with. Adults should have their shit together, and older teens usually do, but kids? It's unfair to expect so much out of them.

Accelerator watches her muse over this new information quietly. She looks like the type of kid who had to grow up too face - not uncommon when you're this young and with a serious medical condition. It might make her more resilient to all this bullshit, though it's still unfair she has to go through any of this to begin with.

Echo is described as a god, and he thinks combining that with whatever losses Echo suffers when they bring in or kick out an Etrayan, it's questionable whether they have any kind of humanity within them. It's possible they're so completely different from humans (and human-adjacent people) that their way of doing things is beyond the understanding of the rest of them.

"Anyways, if you've picked up shit from the scientists you've hung around you'll be in good company," he continues. "There are a lot of people like that in Etraya."

Nerds. He means nerds.
