That's why-- [he exhales in a huff, unfolding his arms so he can rub at his brow.] That's why I thought...exploring the wilderness would do something. Mean something. Help us...find something...

[... Or. Foot? Why is 'foot' a unit of measurement? That's stupid. He's briefly distracted by the thought before he forces himself to focus again.]
You're doing good work, Manabu. I know it's sometimes hard to believe, but you are.
