"Take one day at a time..." Brainiac 5 muses. It's a philosophy he's heard several times in the Legion, though one he's also always had difficulty applying. He's used to planning ahead extensively as often as possible in order to avoid problems. But, when he thinks about the situation he left the Legion in, he can understand why it might be better to try only taking things a day at a time. It isn't possible to plan ahead for if - when - he returns to his own dimension, and he'd rather not dwell on the matter if at all possible.

"But still," he continues, returning his attention to Cielo, "I imagine it will be particularly difficult for you here. Has there been any suggestions of how to deal with the problem?" After all, it doesn't seem to have been Cielo's choice to be like this, so Brainy thinks there's little point in taking offence at the notion. Better to focus on working out solutions if possible.
