[agni is not, in fact, taking a nap. instead, he's crouching by the sunflowers, looking sad.]
Don't suppose there's any way to save you guys...
[when he realizes lio's there, he glances at him and. well, i would be lying if i said he didn't manage to look even more tired at the sight, before he turns back to the trampled sunflower patch.
he's not going to run, at least, even if he can't say he wants to talk to lio (or anyone) right now. he knows he doesn't have the right.]
[He's been thinking about this. So. Giving his Prepared Speech.]
. . . You could have told me. You could have told Akira too. We were immune, so your plan would not have been blown. We could have helped - at least to try and do something. Maybe we couldn't have been awake, but something.
... Mm. That was my bad. [he smiles wryly, staring at the sunflower patch.] I suppose I've forgotten how to ask for help.
[he's always been alone, after all.
it would be a different story if more than one person could've stayed up, because then he actually would've asked lio, but since that wasn't the case... yeah.]
[Honestly? A my bad is good enough. He doesn't want to be upset about this. He likes Agni? He wishes his plan had worked. Most of the anger is built up frustration from the way so many of these trials seem to go: other people know things that are happening, secret machinations, while the rest of them struggle in the dark. Lio knows he isn't the best planner - obviously Agni isn't either - nor the sharpest tool in the shed, but all of this week, he's wanted to help, and no one has let him offer. ]
It isn't as if-- [He huffs, pink sparks flying into the air.] I don't blame you for trying. Of course you were going to try. We all want to help you. I want to help you. I don't care if you are a god, and I am only human, this place works by making us believe we have to act alone. That we can't trust each other.
[please know that in an alternate universe jin ling could've had the flute and feather and things would be even worse. long story.]
... Well, it doesn't really matter now. [he tugs at the strands of his hair.] I used every card I had that night, so I'm not going to be of much help from this point, let alone doing anything on my own again.
The impression I'm getting tonight is that I'm actually pretty stupid?
[he shakes his head.]
In any case, it was just an objective fact. As callous as it sounds, I won't let this get to me. I'll mourn those who died, but I've had far worse failures in my life.

Bullshit. You seem clever enough. If the god of fire lets his flame go out, what is the point?
