[He isn't even touching the "what if" yet. He doesn't know what to say about that and part of him wonders if he needs to talk to Dirk himself and get his thoughts on the matter. John isn't the Heart player so it's out of his domain of understanding. But he does understand what else she's saying.

Hey. [It's just a firm word to draw her to a stop before he shifts to look at her.] Being scared and running away are not the same thing. [And part of him thinks about how things went at home, too.] I really do not think your friends would blame you for being afraid of what this means when it sounds like Kyubey tricked all of you.
[...maybe he shouldn't ask this of her, but her answer will change his own response.] If you knew...if Kyubey approached you the first time and told you that your power would come from your soul, but that you would still be helping people by fighting the Nightmares, would you still have done it?
