AT THIS POINT it looks like conspiracy kook kid probably was right about more stuff than non-conspiracy kook people. Maybe she should listen to the crazy ideas more often? IN ANY CASE she would accept it!

I imagine she didn't really have much to do with him before numbers simply because she is semi-independent and hangs out with a different crowd over anything else - she's more prone to tolerating weird talk than she is to mocking it. ...At least outright, since she might go along with it just in an "lol are you serious" way.
