[ For the most part Broca is listening quietly to Midnight's thoughts on this matter. Trying to determine people's motivations for things has never been something he's exceptionally skilled at, because people's real motives are usually more opaque and nuanced than they are in say, a book, where a narrative will line up neatly to make everything make sense.
What the House could actually be after is hard for him to say if they're not going to just come out and say it, but people fucking endlessly doesn't seem right. He could see if it was something that powered them, or something they somehow made a profit off of, and even this makes some degree of sense despite the fact that he doesn't understand what they get out of it all in the first place.
But the last comment has him furrowing his brows in deep contemplation. He's considered the possibility before that winning won't actually get him anywhere. They didn't promise that winning would get you home, after all. It's just an avenue he's also attempting while looking for other ways out that don't involve fucking over 52 different people during his stay here.
He's annoyed but not completely put off by the suggestion that it might get him the results he wants, but... ]
Wouldn't that end the game anyway? Knowing there's no real prize.
[ Someone finds out it's total bunk, then who is going to keep bothering to play? ]
