[Tidus's agitation makes Connor feel quite agitated in turn - and the confusion of what exactly has happened to Tidus to make this happen is making him nervous enough. Hank's hand on his back helps a little - he dedicates a process to running that sensation on repeat, like it keeps going even after Hank withdraws.
He's pretty sure that if the chip was going to kill Tidus, it would have done it already. So why the shutting down of this one function?
He's almost certain they would know if the chip's surveillance had been interrupted. They wouldn't be here talking about it, for one thing.
Connor, not knowing about Tidus's reality beyond that it has one very exciting-sounding sport and a cavalier disregard of human lung capacity limits, looks confused even after the translation from Hank.
He takes a second to go online and download every instance of Tidus posting on the network. There's only one, and it's a little confusing. What doesn't help is that he did the smart thing and continued the conversations in person.]
I didn't know that. But I think...if the Head doesn't want you here anymore, you'll know. This is something else.
No head injury, it just looks like the translation function in his chip is gone. Have you ever come across this before?
[Hank talks to more people than Connor, he's more proactively social. Connor likes people, but sometimes just doesn't think to go out and talk to them. Hank is more likely to know these things than Connor.
He'd also have already mentioned it and wouldn't look so confused, but he's asking just in case. It also helps for Tidus to see that they're talking about it, taking it seriously.]
