He knows he had been following his gut, doing his best to learn the truth, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel awful over suspecting a friend in the first place. That guilt is exactly what had made Apollo jump at the opportunity to spend some time with her, and lend a hand when she needed it. He's got to make it up to her somehow.]
