August went off to deal with the remaining matters and find closure. He did somewhat apologize to Damien, but Damien didn't really mind, so it wasn't something they focused on.
It was normal for August to lose his cool sometimes. It was normal for him to have mood swings as he grew. Damien was never going to punish him for anything like that.
The only reason they didn't take the time to catch up was because there was still a lot to do. As August left, Damien also did the same, but he was headed to a completely different dimension.

'I've been waiting for this moment. I was really hoping that he'd choose this method.'
Obviously, Damien gave August three choices that he could pick between, but there was only one right answer.
