"What?" Glacius arches up slightly, clearly surprised by one remark in particular—but at least it helps him understand where some of Alphys' reservations are coming from. He can only hope that he'll be sufficient to help, here. "A burden? You are nothing of the sort, my friend! You have a brilliant mind, and you have given aid to all of us in this city through your research into the Door. I should be thanking you for that. Before you came along, I did not know the first thing about investigating it; I just prowled the Colosseum every time I knew it would open, hoping to find some disturbance that I could probe."

The alien pauses, then settles back down after his initial surprise and smiles his best reassuring smile. "Thanks to you, going home feels like more of a possibility now. You realize you have given me something very important, right? It is hope... and I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way. I am sure that there are others whose lives you have touched in different ways. So do not go selling yourself short and saying you are not 'useful', alright?"
