[ He's glad to see her being so strong about it at first, though he hopes she doesn't push herself. It can't be easy to see yourself so vulnerable and in pain, especially with someone else by your side. Though perhaps Alphinaud may think of it differently from Krile.
But when he finally catches a glimpse of her in the flashback, it makes his heart sink. Seeing Krile in such a state is something he would never want, and yet here it is, right in front of his eyes. He'd worried so much about her, and he clearly had good reason to, knowing she went through such an experience.
He watches for a moment, taking a step forward in concern, like his body wants nothing more than to spring forward and help her, but his brain is fully aware that that's not possible. This is all merely an illusion — his help would do nothing for her here.
So he grits his teeth and balls his hands into fists, just to keep what he's feeling inside. To stop himself from doing what he knows is impossible. And then he takes that step back, and finally averts his gaze, looking down at the ground. Both to hide his troubled expression, as he's wont to do when he's upset, but to keep himself from looking on at it for now. It's ... it's just so hard. He cares for her too much to see her like this. ]
