As you read, pay attention to who is telling the story.
“This is the records floor,” Milo called to Paige, running to the far side of the building, a distance of nearly 200 yards, and stopping at one of several large computer terminals sitting all along the wall. He whisked into a chair, and his fingers flew across the smooth keyboard.
On the crystal screen the interface appeared like most of the ones on Earth, with windows and pictures and boxes of text. Milo opened a program and entered a long code into one of the text boxes, which brought up a long list made up of strings of alien letters.
“Oh, sorry,” Milo said as he noticed that Paige couldn’t read the strange characters on the screen. He pressed a key, opening a small window, and selected ENGLISH from an unfathomably long drop-down menu. The strange letters were revealed to be names. While the surnames, which Paige guessed didn’t have an English equivalent, remained in their strange characters, the first names all seemed very Earthlike. Milo selected his name, opening a new window. It featured a picture of him and a brief profile. Paige saw his name, home planet, a list of relatives, and his birth date. Without asking, she nudged Milo out of the way, selecting the date from another incredibly long drop-down menu and changing it to Earth years.

“How do they know where I live?” Paige asked incredulously. “I’ve never heard of Earth submitting records or censuses to Pandora.”
“Well, not that you know of,” Milo said mysteriously, checking the time on the monitor. At the sight of the strange digits he jumped and quickly closed out of the window, making for the stairs. “Jiminy Christmas, it’s almost time to open!”
As he hopped back down the stairs, Milo glanced back to make sure Paige was following him. His eyes scanned each level, looking for anything that might need adjusting before opening time.
Milo logged into the front desk computer and fished a large cluster of keys from one of the many drawers. “For the fourth-floor records and computer rooms,” he explained. “Some of the information is classified.”
“Of course,” Paige said understandingly. Her gaze flickered towards the front door. “There’s . . . people.”
Milo looked up to see shadows moving on the other side of the door. “Yes, we open in ten minutes.”
Milo heaved a sigh, glancing at the clock. He supposed he could open a few minutes early, since there were already patrons outside. He selected a large key from the key ring he’d pulled from the desk and made for the front door, unlocking it and holding it open for the half dozen patrons that had been waiting outside. In stumbled a pair of Martians, a pair of Lophiites with their glowing antennae bobbing with every step, a slender Phasman with its four arms crossed over its chest, and a particularly stout Nekoid, who purred his greeting in that strange way their species did.
“Welcome, Sammale, iAACKlaaah, Muu-muu!” Milo greeted them in their languages and took his place behind the desk in case anyone required assistance.
Based on the passage provided, the inference that is most supported is: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters.
This is evident as the narrator shares insights into the thoughts and feelings of both Milo and Paige. For example, we see Milo's actions, intentions, and a hint of his mysterious nature when he checks the time and hurriedly closes the window. Additionally, Paige's incredulity about the records and her understanding response show her perspective. The narrator's ability to present both characters' thoughts and feelings indicates a broader understanding beyond just one character's viewpoint.
