Well, I'm pretty sure the people on this planet are gonna get slaughtered by the synthetic life they're making after they hit singularity. So. [ he's not always optimistic. just most of the time. believing a better situation is achievable got sam through a hell of a lot thus far. or believing you can make the best with the crap cards in your hand, at least.
and even if he's pretty sure this planet will run into disaster, once the androids gain full consciousness, that doesn't mean he can't try what he can to fix it in the last hour. do until you can't, and all that. ] Maybe just more stubborn. I dunno. [ probably. sam never did like being idle.
he blinks towards Ren, quiet for a moment, as he considers the notion of it, and looks from him towards the still woman on the couch. ]
And yet... here she is on your couch. [ if he'd barely known her, and vice versa, then why is he so committed to watching over her? while sam does thing ren has a bit more of a protective side to him than he might admit to, there's something significant about jessica with him. if it'd been steve, would he still drag him in here? if it was sam? ] You don't have to know someone intimately to be a comfort. Or at all. It's just connection.
[ he hadn't know the Eight that was dying on the Cylon basestar, but he'd reached for her anyway, just so she wasn't alone, and that moment passes through his mind, free to touch. then, he hadn't even known he was her creator. just that she was scared, and he could see that she didn't face that alone. ] Whether we wanted it or not, this brood thing means we're not alone anymore, and that's something we can know for certain. Some of us still need that. Like Ilde. Maybe Steve. I think Jessica does too.
