Awake and pretty confused, but he read her demeanor and all that desperate hope went flying away into dreamland with the rest of the past few... hours? Days? Weeks? He had no clue.

As she approached he gasped out a little breath (it hurt to do much more than that) and lay back on the bed again. "I-I'm sorry, Miku," he murmured. "I'm so, so sorry."

He wasn't exactly sure what for, but he didn't know what else to say.
