[Ion moves one of his hands down to rub Sola's back, murmuring to him quietly. He doesn't entirely expect Sola to respond, but he hopes that some of it will get through.]

You are a good person, and my dear friend. You and I... we can't be expected to be able to do what everyone else our apparent age can do, Sola. We were both created so recently in comparison. If we were born, we would still be in diapers.

Even so, you go out of your way to try and help people, don't you? I think that's wonderful. You've barely lived a life for yourself, and you still reach out to others. You will be come a fine man. So please... don't give up on yourself yet.
