The first emotion to bubble up is a kind of strangled frustration, because Rey isn't the first to recognize him like this, nor is she likely the last. He hates that he's hurt so many people, so many complete strangers, just by...being here. He hopes that Hathaway placed him on this team as a balm, rather than a knife. He can't shake the feeling of not being able to live up to himself, somehow.
The second, right on the heels of that annoyance, is a peal of excitement; this is Keith's Rey, the mysterious confidante. Lance is excited to finally get to meet the girl with the dubious honour of being Keith's closest friend. ]
