It pains you to see her cry now. When she cried over her dog in third year you laughed, when she cried over a bad grade in fourth year you sneered, and when she broke up with Peter in fifth year you just didn't care.
And now she's crying for the first time since you started your tangled (whatever it is- not love, surely) because her brother is dead. And you can't comfort her because you've proved so many times that her tears provoke no reaction in you. She'll think you're just trying to be nice, and you both hate that. Maybe that's why you work so well together, because you don't have to be nice to each other.
She cries and you leave, because it's what both of you expect you to do.
