Cub is kind of intimidated by Erika! FOR ALL HE THINKS EVERYONE IS GOOD DEEP DOWN that doesn't necessarily make everyone nice. He's somewhat uneasy because their conversation sort of progressed until Cub had to adjust his reasoning to something more ... reasonable (as reasonable as that conversation could get) and that combined with getting verbally coerced out of his maji optimism 1000% makes him a little more uncomfy.
He hasn't lost hope though!! In his intro Itempas tried to deny his existence and he's continuously been grumpy/:E at Cub, but now they can have basic conversations and clearly Itempas is Troubled. So, Cub is kind of thinking Erika might be something like that! She may be Very Determined about her realism but clearly she is just a troubled person who doesn't mean to be so mean '^' So he'll probably try to see if they can get to that same basic conversation level (which doesn't even concern whether he can exist or not to have that conversation!!) with Erika as he does with Itempas.
