It was a wonder after all the abuse that his brother had suffered from for so many decades, a test of Maul's resilience.
It also was an overt show of how much his death had actually affected Maul. He had been told, had seen some of the vulnerability before, but it was the first time seeing his own demise through his brother's point of view. That Maul had abandoned the fight to come to him when it had to be the most dangerous decision to make made his chest tight with emotion.

That was the first time you called me brother in a long time... [Once the Rule of Two became their relationship, both of them had been extremely stubborn about their wording for each other. Maul only called him Apprentice, once or twice Savage, but he was just as stubborn sticking to calling Maul brother to reinforce that that was far more important to him.]
