Remus still has the presence of mind to locate a Healer once he's left, wiping his eyes before motioning the green-clad witch down the hall towards Sirius' room. After that, he moves blindly, staggering away past rows of empty chairs until he spies a door opening onto a darkened room.
He breaks down again the moment he enters the empty hospital room, collapsing into a chair where he allows the events of the past twenty-four hours to hit him full force, shoulders shaking with the intensity of his sobs.
He'd ducked away not because he wanted to be alone, but because he didn't want Sirius or Regulus to see him in their path should either of them have cause to come this way. He's done enough for one lifetime – to the both of them – and the best thing (the only thing) that he can do for either of them now is to stay out of their way and let them get on with their lives.
