He should have noticed that immediately. "I honestly don't care if you're a civilian or not, if you're in the loop, you're a reliable source. I'm not going to be picky about that."

There was a shrug and a soft sigh. "Trust me, I'll notice. I might be a kid, but I know the signs, even if it happens to me. I've seen how quickly a person can fall." Thank to his Aspect memories, he wasn't lying. He had seen many people end up that way throughout Thomas' lifetime to know the signs for himself and want himself to never get like that.
