A good person who is so resolutely loyal to whatever ideals he has that he can't bear to forgive himself of his transgressions of them.
There's a painful desire within Akira to dampen some of that self-loathing, and maybe if he wasn't a god, he would. Just enough to get him to accept Akira's help.

And then Akira takes a seat next to him and begins to soothe his emotions. Anxiety or worry— emotions of this nature will be dampened while a sense of security and calm are coaxed within him.
He reaches out, gently brushing some of the bangs out of Apollon's face. Quietly, he prays that part of this horrible depression stems from the lack of sleep he's gotten. Maybe, once he's fully rested, he would be more open to getting the help he needs.
