It's strange, this place Robby's mind is stuck in. Because what Paul says is familiar, but not because he knows the event Paul is talking about. It's a bare minimum to not give names or faces, except Paul's own. It could be anyone's story, many people's stories, when framed as it is.
But it's Paul's too, by the way he attempts to detach himself from it in a manner that makes it obviously personal. He can understand that, and takes no particular judgment to it. Gaze aside, thinking; admitting, even if it doesn't entirely register:
"I'm going to do that too." But the weight isn't there, and -- was that the right phrasing? He's conflicted, because there's thought more than a heavier emotion, the point of even admitting to it. "--Do you feel like people forgive too easy?"
It's not the former he cares to connect with. But the latter, with Paul's choice of words -- does he?
