Firo does notice the shuddering. He doesn't let go. He didn't need any more hints that this, obviously, is serious shit, but there's another one right now.
He could condemn her for killing a mother of all people. He could interrogate her about why, which he's kind of tempted to do. He could also try to offer this obviously distressed woman comfort.
But he doesn't, because now isn't the time for talk, and he's just not the kind to get touchy feely now. So practical it'll be.
"If we don't hurry up and get movin', it might still be you killed." He would've parroted her wording on 'terminated,' but he can't think of it that way without feeling disgust. It sounds like the way Szilard would talk about people.
