While Adia might understand that drive to find scientific answers, she has come to peace with the fact that there are some things beyond her knowledge, or at the very least, there are not enough hours in the day for her to learn all she can in order to satisfy her curiosity.

"Likewise, Isamu," she replies warmly. "You know, sometimes I feel outnumbered by all the magic users in the Nexus. It's nice to meet another scientist. If you ever want to talk shop, you can do it with me. I'll let you know if there's anything I'm not comfortable discussing."

Adia has had far more awkward collaborations in the Nexus, and Isamu seems pretty reasonable. Plus, she's genuinely curious about his own research.
