She hadn't told him yet that it was because she almost died on the battlefield against D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. that she was sent home in the first place. She hasn't told him yet that the plan for saving her world(s) involves her dying either.
Here, however, there was no fail-safe to send her home. If she died in that arena, she would just be gone. When she made the plan back home to stop the war, she was prepared for it to mean her life. So was Misto, even if he was unhappy about it. But now? Now she thinks she might not be able to go through with it. When she hears his voice crack the way it does, she knows she can't.

She hates it, but- She'd hurt him worse, she realizes, if she threw herself back into danger just because she didn't want to get married on this world's terms of all things. ]
