[It's a very non-committal hum. While it's nice of her to try and put a positive spin on it, Shuichi still can't help but see it as a bad thing. He'd like to be a reliable person...in general, not just when his talent is involved. But that's probably too much to ask of somebody as weak as he is.]
Ah, well...perhaps it's not as bad as the name "demon" would imply? I mean...it's probably been living up here for a while, hasn't it? And from the sound of things, this is the first time there's been any kind of incident.
[His tone makes it clear that he's just offering a suggestion based on evidence, rather than something he firmly believe. He could just as easily believe that the demon IS bad news and there's some other explanation for its silence until now. Maybe there was some kind of seal preventing it from doing so. That's how demons work, right?]
Or it could be that the demon is the type to work more from the shadows, so to speak. There's definitely something wrong with this train...have you been through the seating cars yet? Sitting down in the chairs makes you fall into an almost coma-like sleep. It may be that the demon would rather trap, delay, or enchant us, rather than fight us head-on.
