Obi-Wan will bear witness to whatever she needs; he will stand vigil for her, without judgment no matter what happens.
He hates seeing her like this, knowing that at least a part of her immense sorrow is his doing. He cannot take her to see Luke, though - even she has admitted it, despite knowing that she will break at some point and beg him to do so. A clean break is necessary, no matter how painful; it would only cause her more heartache to see him, to know he was so close by, and not be allowed to have him with her.
Obi-Wan pulls her closer, tucking her head against his neck and shoulder, one hand cradling her head while the other wraps tightly around her shoulders.
"I'm so sorry," he finds himself whispering, over and over, his chest aching at her grief, which mirrors his own, but is so much deeper. He wishes he could cry her tears for her, to help ease some of her pain.
