I am sorry that you do not know! But not unexpected for one that KNOWS
all the non-answers!

An apology is a justification or defense of an act or idea, can also
be an expression of contrition and remorse for something done wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology

Reciprocal altruism

In evolutionary biology, reciprocal altruism is a form of altruism in
which one organism provides a benefit to another in the expectation of
future reciprocation. This is equivalent to the Tit for tat strategy
in game theory. It would only be expected to evolve in the presence of
a mechanism to identify and punish "cheaters". An example of
reciprocal altruism is blood-sharing in the vampire bat, in which bats
feed regurgitated blood to those who have not collected much blood
themselves knowing that they themselves may someday benefit from this
same donation; cheaters are remembered by the colony and ousted from
this collaboration.

Or a condolence or shared grief on the occurrence of such as
a death. See :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condolence

Such occurrences are typical of this sucky indecent reality.
