While Alice is thinking about her mum-mum and her absolutely terrible taste in literature, her eyes are focused on a mirror on the far side of the room. It's rather big, so the only thing she can look at when facing that direction is one's own reflection.
For some reason the mirror's been evoking some pretty spooky tones, if one listens closely, they'll hear all sorts of dark garbled whispers and corrupted voices. Since Alice is but a child, her ears are too innocent to let her pick up on this yet.
The powers that be give Alice five more seconds of freedom to let her do whatever she wants before the fun comes in, she wastes all of those seconds on rubbing her stuffy nose.

"Oh no,"
"OH NO!"
Twitching, the Bunnelby stops for just a few seconds to rapidly tap his new gimmicky device, "I AM TERRIBLY TERRIBLY LATE! I SPENT ALL DAY AT THE APPLE STORE, A GRAND TOTAL OF HOURS AMOUNTING TO EIGHT!--AND NOW I AM LATE!"
He breaks into a sprint for that spooky mirror, "EVEN IF I TELL HER IT WAS GENIUS BAR'S FAULT, TEN DAYS TEN DAYS I'LL GET LOCKED IN THE VAULT!"
He doesn't seem to recognize the fact that he's an unwanted trespasser in the room of the main protagonist.
A) Tell him he should have got an Android. They can do no wrong!
B) Offer him a V8 to calm him down.
C) Ask if poppy notices the fucking talking twitchy rabbit in the room.
