He's made the deliberate decision to trust the other people here, not because he feels any deep kinship with them, but because to act otherwise would be an easy way to go mad. All they've got here is each other. For the time being, they have to maintain some semblance of societal norms, or else --
Well, or else people will go around killing each other, but apparently that's already begun. At least it was ostensibly consensual murder. Would wonders never cease. ]
Though we've been stripped of our choice to just not trust everything here, haven't we? We're reliant on what they give us for survival. If they decided to strip that away, that would be it. First couple of days, I didn't even want to eat.
