As long as they're making some sort of progress, Nepeta doesn't much care about how they're making or what is (or isn't) happening to the people they're moving past. Not when it's fairly clear that they won't be getting any kindness in return. No, instead Nepeta focuses on getting to the elevators and bit by bit they do in fact make it there.

What, if anything, they actually manage to get out of them is still anyone's guess but progress is progress. Perhaps not enough so, but she's doing what she can.
