Such a story any normal person would think as crazy, but Rika can understand it all to well. Her experience required the help of a god to create new worlds for her, but if she didn't know any better it would be the same as going back in time. It's shocking to hear that he can do this on his own, but that power seems to run in the family.
Her shocked face turns more serious and contemplative when he looks away. Using the power to change fate to rid oneself of a bad end, Rika has known that sort of thing from about one hundred years worth of repeating her childhood in an attempt to create a world where her friends and she can live happily. An older version of Rika would have been glad that the other man also has the power to overturn the bad events of his life, but Rika has learned something important since that time. By not accepting her death Rika created many failed worlds where many peopled died, and in a way she now feels somewhat responsible for that. She accepted that she could not save her parents, but continued to live through worlds allowing them to die over and over again until she felt nothing for them anymore...
Instead of being accepting of Evan's power, Rika asks with an innocent child's voice that she was supposed to naturally have, "Does that make you some kind of god? How does running away from your problems make them better?"
