Mal's ears tipped back slightly, his tone was somber. I know it's not. Life hasn't ever been fair for me either. But look. We're here together.

He took a step forward, lowering his head and reaching out to Phillip but not touching him. Mal had never been touchy-feely but he was also assuming Phillip wouldn't want him trying to comfort him either.

However, Mal was also willing to live in the present. There were so many things that he couldn't change... So he fought for what he could.
