[It's a fine line: giving someone space while still comforting them. Jason had walked that line so many times in his life. The need for reassurance, a hug or holding someone's hand or even a light brush on the arm can be balanced by not necessarily acknowledge when someone is crying.
He's hugging Sora, so it's not like he can't feel the sob catch in Sora's body or the feeling of something wet dripping onto his arm. But he has a feeling that Sora doesn't want him to "know" about those things. So for a moment he's just quiet, hugging his friend, and not saying anything.
He wished he'd had something like this a few months ago. He's glad none of the memories seem to be of his time here. Of the real reason he keeps returning to the roof for privacy. For his own tears over his lost life. It seems so selfish, especially when everyone else is in the same boat.
After a moment he gives Sora one more reassuring squeeze and pulls away. He gives Sora's hair a ruffle, which might mess it up more than usual since there's a bit of static thanks to Jason's powers, and he offers him a small smile.]
Come on. You should put your shoes back on. You look silly with socks on your hands.
