[That implies a few things. That they're part of a larger group, but the same one -- which could mean counselors, but considering what he's been asking about, he wonders. That the pastor is part of something else altogether.]
Why are you here, Red?
[She'll probably be just as evasive, but it's... a pretty basic question that he's been wondering for a while.]
Were you somewhere else, before? Like the rest of us.
[It's a pretty vague question for the pretty vague answer. But something about Red just seems out of place, though that might just be the other adults they have to compare her to. And there's that shift in her composure, too. He's taking a stab in the dark.]
[Does that mean Stan doesn't technically belong here, either? Why are the counselors in similar straits? Though just because they're in similar straits doesn't necessarily mean their goals agree; especially since Red is so close-mouthed about it and Stan is Stan.
Can they work together?]
You asked me earlier... what I wanted you to do. What is it that you can do?
[He doesn't know exactly how many post-apocalypses are around but that would be his other generic option. Of course, he kind of lives in one, so it's a little grim to imagine one even humans can't scrounge a living in.
Okay. One more thing. Is there something you -- or Stan -- want us to do?
[Since there's no way to tell exactly why the counselors are here...
He's still going to give it a good ol' try. It feels a little like they're wandering in the dark right now, and then only road leads to someplace even darker. He needs to figure out how to break out of this. Where the light is.]
[There's something strange and contradictory, he feels, about the two statements she just gave him. Ren has been shot. Soma is gone. The rest of them are walking on eggshells even when they're acting in high spirits.]
I don't think the two things you just said make sense together.

Red... He's different from you, isn't he?
