[He smiles again, but it's more kind, understanding. Another sip of wine fills his hesitation to answer.]
I've asked myself those same questions. ...hah, well, aren't they useless to dwell on? Why are only some people brought here? The answer could be as simple as "a mistake" or "a glitch in the code". [People in his workplace use phrases like it all the time.] Are we brought here because they've decided that we, above everyone else else in our world, would prove the most useful to saving those worlds? It only takes a short look around this garden to know that that isn't true.
[People, like himself, had never even heard of a computer before coming here. Why would the people in charge bring in people from worlds that didn't understand their technology on purpose? Why would they bring children? It feels like nothing more than a mistake.
Or a joke.]
You'll drive yourself mad trying to answer those impossible questions. It's better to ask yourself what you'd like to do about it now that it's happened.
