Asch's arm around his shoulders, the bars of the cage making this awkward and strange, a gesture that's come too late for either of them to truly appreciate its significance, or at least live with the consequence of it--
Because Asch will stop living pretty soon, and Isaac just can't deal with it at all.
It's not much, but it's something, and Isaac huddles even closer to the cage if possible, tries to make it even a little easier on Asch when he knows this must hurt since the guy is still so injured. But if anything he cries even harder, the kind of crying that makes you feel like you might throw up, that makes your face hurt.
Eventually Isaac manages to gasp a breath and he says: ]
I will...! I'll live for both of us, so...
I-I'll look for you, okay? Whatever it takes... I'll find an answer...!
