But Catherine bites off that response. She already knows that won't be helpful to Simon. It's too factual, too expository instead of sympathetic. That being said, she doesn't know how to be sympathetic here. She doesn't feel like she's in any better of a position than Simon is. He gets fixated on the physical reality of it, but Catherine looks at the big picture-- that's always been her blessing, and her curse.
There's nothing she can do to help, no goals for them to strive toward, at least not yet. They're just uselessly wandering around this mall, avoiding death. Catherine might as well not be here, for all the good she's doing. If anything will give her an existential crisis to match Simon's, that will.
"I didn't think I'd miss being in the Omnitool, either," she admits. "But at least then I could be doing something. Instead I'm watching a bad vintage movie." Which is still blaring in the background, ignored.
