Yota looked very confused and perplexed by Alice's statement, "... what if some of 'em are dumb, though? Maybe she's an exception, but..."
Yota isn't the brightest, his brother isn't either, and he's definitely rough with him too, but the rest of Alice's words do get a thoughtful hum and then resigned nod from Yota.

"It makes sense. I guess... if y'see it that way... I was in the wrong. I should'a used my words."

It's something!
