"You're dying?", Travis was shocked by the reveal.
"In a purely technical sense. I'm figuring out some potential treatments for my condition. However I've never told you this until now. So if you reveal this information to me when this loop resets, then I'll definitely know something had happened."
"We can't just move past this. You ask me if I'm alright and if I need help, why don't you do the same?"
"Because there's nothing that can be done right now. I've already reached out to capable people to see what my options are. Trust me, I've already been scolded heavily regarding this. There's no need to worry about me.", Akiol sat up, "For now, focus on yourself."
"I can't! I mean. . .", Travis struggled to find the words.
"Hey now, it's not like I'm gonna kick the bucket soon. I just have to take it easy for now."
Travis suddenly felt cued in, "That's why you weren't fighting against Salamandor!"
"I was told not to push myself in any way. So yeah, I can't really help."
