Galaxian almost seemed to consider--actually, he did consider it, though it wasn't helping his emotions any, the entity whose face had been torn graphically off being a particular person he liked to hug, and pretty much the only person he really hugged outside of comforting others.

So, to put the non-hypothetical situation down, he likely needed a hug, but it would also trigger feelings that he wasn't used to handling in public.

He steeled himself. "Thanks! I...think I need to focus on...solving the problem, though, not...my feelings." There's something called self-priorities that he never seems to get.

He gave her a look of curiosity. "Do you know Xenon?" He added helpfully, "I don't, personally."
