It's a bit odd, he thinks, hearing Alex slightly concede that he could be right, maybe. At least partly so. Maybe that's why he tenatively probes at the matter.]

Yes. Your willingness to hold conversations with me is frankly fairly inexplicable. Almost as bad as Sayori, but she claims I'm her friend so I suppose it makes some sense.
[This is still deeply strange to him and probably should be to Alex as well??? In any case.]

I can't fathom what your reasoning is, though.
