Having seen someone badly injured, or maybe even ー he doesn't want to consider this, but ー dead... it's not something you can easily recover from, especially if she cried like that. He doesn't want her to push herself to be the happy go lucky Rei that she always is, as much as he adores that quality of hers. Yet at the same time, he doesn't know what to say, how to say it without sounding superficial.
So instead, he pets her head again, hoping what he feels will be conveyed through his action.
Even if he doubts that there's anything he can do that can make the pain in her heart go away, he doesn't want to let her feel loneliness. At least not physically. He'll offer his hand, if she wants to take it, as they walk towards the neighborhood. ]
