["What's done is done." The difference between them is defined in these words. They're so simple, but Scott has a hard time living his life without seeing the consequences of his actions. He hadn't participated in bringing down the ship, but he does wish that it had gone better. He remembers hearing hearts through walls as they stopped beating. He knows that as the days went on, coming closer to the ship was like a constant reminder of the corpses within. They had no chance to save those people. There were bad people, but there were good people, too. It was apparent that whatever justice system was in place here, they treated everyone as if they belonged on equal footing.
It's not that he thinks Lucina doesn't consider her actions or the weight of them. It's more that in this case, Scott has a hard time believing in "what's done is done." He will carry the burden of this guilt for a long time. It doesn't matter if he could or couldn't have changed a thing in all of it.
He swallows, saying nothing to those words, but it's likely apparent from the look on his face and the feeling in his eyes that he doesn't fully agree. If he were fighting a real war of some sort, he wouldn't manage it for long. There's a reason why Scott has nearly crumbled under the weight of his responsibilities.

We have to try to save everyone. [That, too, is a huge burden to even attempt, but he's clearly willing to try.]
