Some cultures demonstrate the state of grief graphicly with such actions as tearing one's clothes and smearing oneself with ashes or wearing some kind of special garb. The humans of the Ranger's time do not do that. But it would seem redundant if they did given the way a telepath's emotions can color the "atmosphere" around them.
And so there is a palpable aura of sorrow around the man as he stares out at the exploding starscape. His energy levels have not recovered much, but at least he's not having to hold onto his physical form with his metaphorical teeth and toenails.
Come try to cheer him up...or rub salt in his wounds if you're so inclined.
