      You are correct. It IS sympathy. Sympathy acknowledges the situation. Empathy acknowledges their feelings, more like “I can imagine how this situation makes you feel.”

        I’d imagine empathy being that they would emulate the feelings of those like the woman. I fully expected him to get into a panic and start crying.
