[He says a lot of things that sound like he wants her to think he's not human, that he doesn't feel and love like people do... and then he looks at her with that face, and that expression.
It's about what her imagination lept to- the stories of jinba being "put down" when injured or if they'd outlived their usefulness. Of having their arms lopped off to make them dependent on humans if they were disobedient. Bred and sold for war or further breeding. It's just translated to... metal people.
So even if she doesn't understand the same way he does... She feels the fear of it, the worry, and finds that sympathy has brought tears to her eyes, a tremble to her lips. Even though she still doesn't think it's right, still has thoughts as to deviants and Connor... She also doesn't want to cause him pain or worry pressing it, at least not now, so- Her hands find places on his shoulders, squeezing.]
... I don't understand, but I won't let anyone take you apart while you're here.
[There was no "Cyberlife", and as strong as she is, she doesn't have any experience fighting, but she still says it like a promise... but it doesn't feel like enough, so suddenly she's embracing him instead, holding tight.]
