It's hard for her to even notice what's going on with him. Partially since he tries to force it back down so quickly, but also because Alice is just that much out of it. Usually she's pretty observant, but right now she's already having enough trouble telling reality and fiction apart from each other, let alone being able to tell nuances about the person standing here with her.
So all she can instead do is just focus on his words, not even realising how much he recognizes her situation, and the reason why she'd feel so troubled over it.
".. I wanted to go back to my world."
It's said softly. Like a little kid that's desperately wishing for something, despite Alice being too old to really sound like that - but it's just that much of a core desire.
"I just.. got out of there. I just had the chance to instead go to my Wonderland.." Her voice momentarily trails off, but then her eyes get a little less cloudy. Like thing about the situation in such a concrete way is bringing a part of her mind back, rendering her able to think a little more consciously. "But then the train took me. And since we were told that our bodies are left comatose back home while we are here.."
...
She's quiet for a moment, but then continues.
"It means that someone must have found my body like that.. and either murdered me," knowing the sheer crime statistics out there in London, "or brought me back to the asylum."
And either of those are awful. The latter even more so than the former, in Alice's mind. But both of those reasons mean she can't just go home, even though she desperately wants to get off this claustrophobic train.
