There's gotta be enough of us to be able to do something. [ He and 2B were able to do enough with just the two of them, back in the day. Not everything, of course, but given the conflicted atmosphere of the room there would surely be more than a couple of them staying behind. 9S knows it's for selfish reasons, but he goes on to add: ] ... I'm glad you're sticking around too.
