[Even though Bodhi had long since assumed Kay was destroyed, it hurts to hear what exactly happened. He doesn't kid himself to thinking that he can fully empathize with Cassian; he'd known the droid for a matter of hours in comparison to what was likely years. The pain Cassian must feel is immense, and it's telling that he can pick it up so easily in his voice.
He's not sure what to say in response to this, though. Apologize? That would just be placating and meaningless. Especially when it's not his fault that Kay was destroyed. An apology wouldn't bring Kay back, and he's not sure if anything can. It's something to think about, maybe look into.
But that doesn't help right now. He's not sure if anything can, apart from just letting Cassian say what he needs to.]
He was instrumental in the success of the mission. [Which is stating the obvious. But he can't bring himself to say more; it would edge into making assumptions about Kay, and while they might not be incorrect at all, it wasn't his place to do so.]
