[It's not as though Sakamoto isn't hurting too, but he knows that Gintoki and Zura have always been close, the closest, so the loss is probably harder on the other.
That too, though Gintoki had a good deal of Sakamoto's faith and respect, Sakamoto's world hasn't changed immensely. He can do what he's always done, run far away and avoid everything that will ever remind him of the man. He can avoid sweet shops and pachinko parlors, and even the district where Gintoki used to stay. Everything painful can be easily omitted from his life, isolated and shelved away, as if it were never there in the first place.
Sakamoto holds Zura tightly, at first not disturbing the other, just letting him cry and asking no questions.]
