"You don't have to tell anyone if you'd rather not," Dutch says quietly, sighing and crossing her arms, still digesting the news. "When Matthew disappeared, I didn't really tell many people. Matthias did but I was too -- I didn't know how or who he liked which, in hindsight, makes me sound pretty shitty."

She'd cared about Matthew deeply (and she still did) but she wasn't really aware of his circle of friends, who he liked and who he spent time with outside herself and Matthias. It's a regret that she's going to carry around for awhile.
