She agrees with his sentiment. The change in voice doesn't seem to register to her: not at first, at least. Subject changes to what they are is enough for her to believe that a somber tone would accompany a somber look.

I believe it would also have been dangerous if they were to try and deny that we are here, but I cannot see this as being the better way."

Perhaps it would change. Perhaps things would get better as time passed, as talks with those in power bore fruit, as reality started to factor in, but at each success at their hands, she wonders at how much reaffirmation of what people want to believe will be suffered.
