The way that they present that question from the throughout the whole of the movie from a variety of characters is really interesting. Even at the start as a point where Timo literally abandons Mickey and asks that question and its a full circle moment in the first scene to see how he got in the fissure. His expression when asking the question was quite narcisisstic i'd say, belittling Mickey 17 at the beginning set the tone for the rest of the movie where everyone kind of looks down on him. Even when Kai asked the question it felt quite detached and more she was using him as she wasn't asking to comfort him, more so to cure her curiosity to how Jennifer must have felt. The rest of the characters use that question as a weapon to cut down Mickey's self worth. It just gets to a point where he gets mentally exhausted from this abuse, I feel like thats part of the reason why Mickey 18 was a really no-BS kinda guy.
