He tried to focus on their concern for her well-being and the need to support her during this difficult time, but the guilt and uncertainty he felt were overwhelming.
He swallowed hard and stepped up to speak to them. His expression shifted to one of detachment as he greeted them. It was an awkward moment, and the tension in the room was palpable.
