[He lets out a small breath, relieved that Akito seems to be getting better and better, even if it's only a temporary thing. He knows it won't be so easy to get over or accept something like this]
[Another shake of the head] Y-You don't have to apologize, it's okay. [He bites his lip a moment. What to say that wouldn't be foolish?] Ah, j-just... take as long as you need.
