Common sense be damned, Jyn did let her head lean against his shoulder then, curling just a little closer against his side. There was absolutely no way she wouldn't regret this in short order, but it also seemed like the only real response. She wanted to stop and ask more, grasping for any details he would give her; she wanted just as much to stop and pull him into her arms, apologize for all he'd lost. Both would have defeated the purpose of this exercise. Later, if he'd let her, she would circle back to it, but for now, she just had to hope that her proximity would say what there weren't words for.
"Cassian," she murmured, voice soft with sympathy and lilting like she meant to say more, though she bit it back. A fact for a fact, and she still had so many to tell him. "So... It gets stranger. People disappearing. And they really do just disappear." She paused, and bit her lower lip hard. "Like, for example. Here I was, living on the Falcon. Rey'd been gone for... probably a year or two by then. One day she shows up again. Like she'd never been here before. You talked about time and space being broken... and they are really, really broken."
