If he had to name it, Axel wouldn't call it existential dread, but that's basically what it is.

Y-yeah. I'm Axel. Got it memorized?
[He settles for an uneasy grin as he takes Saix's hand and gives it a quick pump. He's not used to Saix being so... open, either. It's weird. Maybe something really is wrong with him.]
