[HELP HIM WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?? HELP. HELP!!!]
[it's hard for Akechi to empathize. empathy was never his strong point. connecting with people was always so hard, and it still is, even to this day. no one really gets him. no one ever will. so what he's feeling isn't really empathy, per se]
[it's discomfort. discomfort at not being able to understand. at not really liking Ion's situation, but not being able to do anything about it. at not knowing what to say. at not knowing how to react]
. . . I'm sorry.
[and that's why all Ion gets is a halfhearted apology]
