Because these are not similar situations. In the case of Fuga, the circumstances were: his death was seen by Houtarou and confirmed by Atropos. But at the same time, the first is not confident, and the second is doing everything to throw Rinne off balance. Also, Fuga at this time is a generally recognized traitor, and Rinne is much more closed and stingy with emotions. Plus, Fuga himself appears soon enough, gives daughter a ring and promises to return. In the case of Hotaro in the egg, the situation is even more ambiguous, because while the egg is intact nothing is really clear. And in both of these cases, Rinne was either completely off-screen, or at least on the sidelines. But the situation with Atropos happened right before her eyes and Dark Sister died in her arms and protecting her.
But even without the circumstances of protection and friendship/enmity relationships, personal presence implies a stronger emotional reaction.A person will scream louder if a stranger is hit by a car two steps away from him than if he learns over the phone about the death of his beloved grandmother. Yes, for such an example, even the topic of death is not important. The instant reaction to a scorch from match will be brighter than to a burning house seen in the distance.
In general, a person?s true attitude is characterized not by the brightness of emotions, but by its duration. When you lose someone really important, you grieve for a long time, and not necessarily intensely. But in any case, Rinne will not forget about Atropos, because the Dark Sister is now in her head(or, at least, in her ring). Instant reactions are practically reflexive and therefore can say practically nothing about a person's true mood.
By the way, JK Rowling wrote about something similar in Harry Potter. When Dumbledore's death had a greater impact on Harry than his godfather's death, because there was a body left behind. This is also the reason why all kinds of explosions, dispersal and other methods of disappearing the dead in tokusatsu help reduce the age rating.
P.S. I also suddenly remembered that Kitazaki, aka Dragon Orphenoch, never rejoiced in a single battle with riders as much as he did in killing hooligans in the park. Does this mean that his true calling is to deal with street bullies?
