Huh, Peter hadn't known all of that. It was understandable, at least, why Claire had started video taping herself. He wondered who had taped it for her, who had been her partner in crime - it must have been good to have someone who believed in her, who was willing to ride the freak show with her and help her out. Peter hadn't really had that, amongst Nathan and Simone and Mohinder, who'd thought he was crazy - he felt thankful that Claire had at least one person to share it with.
Jesus, the idea of Mr Bennet erasing everyones memories, though. That was an uncomfortable thought. On one hand, Peter wondered if it might not make everything easier - but on the other, he couldn't imagine forgetting what he could do. Likely, he'd go through the exact same progression of discovering them as last time.
He'd gone quiet again as they were talking; it was good that Rachel was being willing to talk with Claire. Small steps to becoming more emotionally comfortable with other people. And thank you, finally, she was admitting that people didn't always leave. Not that Peter had much experience with this, between his dad and friends and his patients. Especially his patients; each of whom he'd loved and devoted himself to, even when they were fading and would eventually die. It wasn't leaving, it was just... going somewhere else.
"Yeah, not always," he commented, nudging Rachel with his shoulder and shooting her a look. Honestly, she should know right now that he was one of the hardest people in the world to get rid of. Once Peter formed attachments, he didn't let go of them easily.
