[It did seem like the experiments were mostly strange and sometimes disturbing other than causing any real actual harm - though they would have if their effects were permanent. Still, Ai wouldn't mind if she was lucky enough like Rei not to be among the ones picked for that.
She looked the girl's way as she was explained more of what the Malnosso were doing. It was true that she didn't have nearly as much experience, nor did she know enough yet, but it seemed odd to her that these kinds of experiments were performed in hopes of bringing people back to the worlds they were taken from.]
Oh.
[Remaining quiet a little after processing what she was told, Ai glanced at the paragraphs explaining the departures in the guide.]
If the Malnosso are also trapped like us, and want to bring us back, then why don't they cooperate with us instead of kidnapping people randomly, or share more information?
[To their credit, the guide did say that sometimes when a person was taken by the Malnosso, they would disappear, presumably having returned to their world. There was no proof of that, however, and Rei herself didn't seem certain.]
It just seems hostile of them. We cannot truly help them this way, either. They have powers that we do not.
