Bruce pulls back too and chuckles at the thwap, wiping at his eyes to brush the tears away. He knew there were so many traumatic things they could have seen from him. There was no end of bad moments in his past to show, but this was the most recent, so there's that. And the worst for the entire world without question.
He sighs and crosses his arms against his chest like a self-hug, it's a soothing gesture he uses a lot for himself. "It just happened, before I came here. It's been fresh in my mind but watching it again reminds me of some details. It was less vivid and detailed in memory." And very vivid and detailed in reality. "At that time too, we thought Tony was dead, he was taken out into space. It really felt like everything was broken all at once. Even with half of us alive, it'll never be okay again."
