Caine wouldn't quite be able to pinpoint the exact moment he stopped listening to her woes. After all, his brain is programmed to mostly store notes and tidbits about his beloved adventures, not feedb- I mean! At least, he felt confident that the words 'strange', 'really nervous' 'odd' and 'aware' were more than enough for the A.I to dispense some solid advice... ! Or comfort. Whatever it was Jane needed.
" Now, now ! That is a perfectly normal reaction to stress, social inadequacy and a notoriously effective strategy to distract the brain from internal panic. " The Ringmaster declared, waving a dismissive hand. Creator forbid he didn't have all his citations ready. Only then did he realize that the digital doe had fallen into the exact pattern she'd just described.

Was it because she didn’t like the place enough!?
He floated uncomfortably close, pupils shrunk to pinpricks stared right into her soul.
