Silence prevailed in the room- dense silence, as everyone was submerged in their own guilt.
The two friends of his were concerned about his well-being after the boundary he had established so clearly had been knocked down due to a lapse in their judgement; the trio was scared of Nitya potentially getting to hear harsh words from him; and Nitya was disappointed in herself, for being unable to detect his pain even after being his friend for so long.
The guilt was bearing down on all of them to an extent where they all just wanted to vanish from the scenario, away from his question and the reminder of their mess-up.
