He understands what Kevin is about to say, and so he gets the sudden hesitance to talk about it. So much about Break is already so different than Kevin, but add to that coming from another world and living a completely different life on top of it. It had been a terrible strain on Gilbert, living through so many other people's memories until he'd finally found his own, and discovered which of his alternate's pasts was actually his own.

But he still steps forward upon hearing Break's voice, ready to greet him, until he hears what else Kevin has to say. He freezes in place and pales. His children...how will Caroline be able to understand what's happened to him? Will she even remember him? Will she treat him like a stranger now?

He stares at the open door and lets Break's voice fill the silence on its own.
