Well, that's not worth dwelling on. It didn't go that way. But he gets how a world without regulation could have that endless sort of cycle. He's not a politician or a planner, so he still doesn't know what the answer is.

He nods, drinks his own coffee.
"Oh. Yeah, no, I understand. I respect secret identities," he says. It's true, though does he want to learn who Starstruck really was? Obviously, but pushing Mechanima the first time he's met this dude seems like a bad plan.
"Eclipse is alive?!" he says, a little louder than he means to. No one is paying attention to him, but he still looks apologetic about that. Natural Peter Parker enthusiasm giving him away, there.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, actually, but I'm seriously considering it."
Sorry, May, he thinks. But she'd understand wanting justice for a kid, right?
"I...wanna talk to a few people before I decide, so if you could, you know. Let me live that long, I'd appreciate it. Sir." He's joking, and it's a terrible joke, and he knows that.
He looks back at his phone. "Oh. Um. Can you teach me how to do the tech thing better? Or point me at someone who can? That trick with my phone was amazing, but makes me think mayyyybe I need better security."
