Rita just stands and looks away while the kid sobs. What else is she going to do? She does feel kind of bad for him, but at the same time, she's just... emotionally numb. Even though they're in the same, terrible situation, Rita can't fully relate to the kind of loss he's feeling. And even she could, there isn't much she could say about it.

When he lifts his head, she meets his eyes for a moment, then resumes looking away. "Leave and go where? It's not like I have a family waiting for me or anything." It's not an honest answer... but it's not a lie, either.
