That's so much worse than what he's had to go through. For one, he didn't know the kid, and two, he didn't have to watch while it happened.
Boxer puts down his controller and leans down to wrap his arms around Nariko. Like she weighs barely anything to him, he pulls her up onto his mantled lap, arms enveloping her entirely while he holds her against his broad, bare chest. It's likely she couldn't escape this gentle bear hug even if she wanted to. He wants to say something along the lines of "I'm sorry," but he doesn't want to patronize her loss. All he wants her to know is that he'll always be here for her...especially if she chooses now to shed tears for it.]
