[She holds the cup even while Yosuke pours the tea, despite him also steadying it.
She knows that she should be more compassionate. She hasn't stopped listening to him - she rarely does now that he speaks to her telepathically so often now - but the more she listens, the less she feels capable of empathizing with any of it. Mostly it just makes her sadder; She'd never stopped failing him, and now he was miserable too. He was questioning, even slightly, whether or not his last life was real, and that would only get worse over time.
Her expression falls a little though, and she finally looks up at him again properly. Where before she just looked old and tired, now she looks miserable.]
Don't do that. Please. I do care, I just...
[She ducks her head and looks into her tea cup. Her hands have started trembling, and she pulls them away from the cup to put one hand over the other to try to make them still again while she takes a deep breath.

She couldn't do this.]
