[ The upside to Rei not looking at Hickey is that she doesn't have to see his annoying face. The downside is that it takes her a little longer than it should to realize Hickey is trespassing, and by then, it's too late.
Rei stands, shoving the glasses into her coat pocket. Hickey is likely already through the front door, and it's only a few more steps before he can see the father-son ghosts embracing in the living room. Rei follows, thinking she'll grab his arm, or tell him to stop, or something.
But as always, the sight makes her stomach twist. Suddenly, Rei doesn't feel like doing anything at all. Hopefully, Hickey will find all this boring, and he'll just turn around and leave, and Rei can pretend that nothing ever happened. ]
