Reiner's brows pinch together. "I'm sorry to hear that."
His words could sound like an empty platitude. But he means it, tone touched with genuine sympathy. He knows that even if the death happened years ago, the pain still cuts; and sometimes, surviving can hurt just as much.
Reiner doesn't ask why the extremists targeted her father (and later her). The fact that her father was a professor tells Reiner enough.
"Can I ask what you are? I mean, outside of this place."
He means "this world"—but given the costumes and the celebration, he really ought to be clearer.
