[There's a drawn out silence on House's end. He doesn't really need to hear Hiro's voice to know what tone that word is being delivered in. Makes sense, then, why the kid talks about deferring to big brother #2. At least House is assuming this is another brother apart from Tadashi.
When he speaks, it's somewhat awkward, but sincere.]
I'm sorry.
[Thank god this isn't audio or visual on Hiro's end. House really doesn't want to deal with someone crying if he is crying. Pressing on, now. He also would prefer that Hiro not 'open up' to him.]
If what they're using is coming in through the ventilation system, there might be a way to get at it if we can find a screwdriver or crowbar or something else to get into the ducts.
