I actually never had a problem with that.

Nako's choice of words there really could have been much better. It read to me like how an insult would, though that's obviously not what Nako intended.

Still, precisely because it came from Nako, and clearly wasn't mean-spirited at all (bit ironically intended to comfort), Ohana probably felt there was some painful truth to Nako's comments.

Feeling as though you're an easily expendable part of a team is a horrible feeling, and many people have experienced that at least at some point in their lives. That's a big part of the reason why the emotionality of this episode resonated nicely with me. Ohana's crying at the end was maybe a bit much, I'll admit, but the emotional pain of her situation was palpable to me.
