It doesn't feel like it is. She deserves a hell of a lot more than some monster trying to help her through this. She especially shouldn't be apologizing to him.
When 37 stands Accelerator lets his hand drop.
He gives her a small shrug. Normally he'd follow up with something like "whatever" or "it's not a big deal," some dismissive statement that makes him look indifferent. Except this was a big deal, and Accelerator doesn't want to downplay what happened to her and what she's still going through.]

[That he can easily offer. He's used to Last Order and Qliphah getting in his space, and Asuka shows up to hang out pretty often, so he doesn't mind at all if 37 does the same. It'd be better for her if she did, instead of shutting herself away alone.]
