It may sound like a simple repetition of what Ned's just said, but it's true. He has no idea what'll make this better for either of them. Ned, at least, has experienced this before, and seems to have some idea of how it goes.

"This shouldn't be about me, anyway. It happened to you. I just happened to be there. It's harder for you. I mean, if you've been imagining people finding out about this for a long time, and it's been on your mind, then obviously it's harder for you."
