Walter listens to the story with attentive concern. He's attended gourmet dinners together with Trevor and Lark. Their formerly paired dynamic hadn't seemed very relevant, but now... "...Ms. Quigley didn't want to tell me how she graduated."
In the moment, Pyotr may feel it was unwise to make this push around his blindered friend, as imagining that Misty has such a sad story only makes Walter more determined. But perhaps in the long term, this will help him realize how little she shared with him in return...
"You know, Archer told me that Trevor attacked a lot of nonhumans for a while. A lot. I might have benefitted from that, but maybe trying to get inmates from all different backgrounds to come together for him was never going to work. And he was saying... a lot of people tried to keep it to themselves what happened to them... like Trevor has with these other beatings he got..."
Could it be that even the "rampages" he's so worried about are just a fraction of all the violence that goes on, because the very newest residents don't yet benefit from these evil forced loyalties? Especially "beatings" that could be healed fully with no death toll that would be obvious to others. It's still just an inference at this point, so Walter says dryly with only the faintest sinking feeling in the back of his brain:
"There's really even more abuse than we know about, huh?"
