[ Trunks is currently having an out of body experience because, while he's clearly standing there with Mai and listening to what she's saying, he's so far removed from his physical body that he's not even sure he's really hearing her.
Because this can't be true.
Dad... mom... even in the future he lets them down? Even in some other timeline he can't protect them? So Vegeta died when he was a baby in the alternate timeline IT DOESN'T MATTER. He's still DEAD and there's NOTHING he can do about it. His future self had gone back in time to fix things and yet he still couldn't fix them for himself. It seems as though no matter what timeline it is, he's never strong enough and he can't save them and so Trunks just stands there, not even realizing that tears are beginning to swell in his eyes.
But it's the cracks that suddenly begin appearing across glass of the aquarium that show what he's truly feeling on the inside: broken. ]
