It breaks her heart to hear him speak, each syllable driving that pain further into her chest. Her compassion for others is as much her downfall now as ever, rendering her completely unable to even think about leaving this man behind as she'd so desperately wanted to do just moments earlier. Especially because she's never had anything like what he's describing; she can't even imagine what that would be like. And then to lose it, to lose two people...
She reaches out to set a gloved hand on his arm, tentatively, ready to pull away if he doesn't want her there. Even if she doesn't understand everything about his situation, she can't just sit there and not do something.
"I'm so sorry," she says again, not knowing what else she can say. Is there anything anyone could say in the face of all this?
