It's not pointless.

[as much as Akira is advocating for Isaac to focus, he refuses to call any of the things he's feeling pointless]

. . . I understand. And it's okay to feel the way that you do. To worry, even when you can't do anything.

[and he finally draws back, even though he doesn't stand up straight yet, arms draped loosely across his knees]

But if you need help getting through this, I'm here. I know we've only just met, but I'll do my very best.

Okay?
