They could all just be too close to the situation, Clint.
I mean, Ward's smack in the middle of things, probably feeling like he's responsible for messing everything up, and then everyone else knows how much he matters to you, so they're trying to keep from upsetting you, but they just don't want to be around him because of everything that happened.
Basically, they're all overly emotional idiots that are still compromised by the situation at hand.
