[while she's not hung up on what Harold reveals, she is absolutely going to be wondering what the Machine is for a while. clearly it's important and whatever (whoever?) it (they?) are, they played a role in this.
but it isn't about this right now, she thinks. it's about the aftermath. and what a tricky aftermath it is. certainly not one that Maria can understand. what she wouldn't give to be able to simply live. but she knew people were different and there was obviously so much she didn't know about Harold. how or why he might feel this way.
her hand squeezes his gently, something she intends to be a show of comfort. there are some bigger emotions she can understand.]
And you don't know what to do with all these things, right?
