Noctis glanced down. “...And I’m so sorry for everything.” He whisoered.

“Noct, what are you talking about? You didn’t do anything.” Ignis said. Noctis glanced over, meeting his gaze.

“...But I did. You guys...Just don’t know it.” Noctis whisoered

prompto hesitated. "noct.. you're starting to scare me.."

[Leafwing12]

Ignis blinked. “...Is this about your nightmare?” Ignis asked. Noctis glanced down.

“It’s not a dream.” He whispered. “This...What’s going on right now this is a dream. I...I used Umbra to go back in time. None of this...None of this is real. I went back in time to escape reality. Because now...Gladio hates me. And he’s been snapping at everyone else. Prompto you’re...You’re not yourself anymore. You’re trying to hold the group together and you’re just getting hurt in the process. And Ignis...You’ve lost your eyesight. You’re just...So lost now. You’re just a shekel of your former self.” Noctis whisoered.

He glanced down, shaking. “And all three of you are like this because of me.” Noctis whisoered. Ignis stared at him. He waited a momemt before shifting. He sat up, moving over to Noctis. He knealt down in front of him, setting a hand on his shoukder.

he frowned. "can you feel pain when umbra sends you back?" he asked.

[Leafwing12]

Noctis blinked. “I don’t feel anything Prompto.” He murmjred. Ignis sighed.

“Noct...I think we can speak for our future selves. Any wound we receive, that’s fine. You don’t need to beat yourself up over this. Things may be hard. But...We still love you, Noctis. We still care about you...But that’s your duty as king. A king pushes onwards, accepting the consequence and never looking back. We can’t be the ones that hold you back from your destiny. Thins are tense now. But everything will fall into place. I can assure you that.” He said

he hesitated and pinched noct. "did you feel
that?"

[Leafwing12]

Noctis glanced at Prompto. “...Prompto, I don’t feel anything. I don’t even feel Ignis touching my shoukder.” He sisd

[dannychan]

he blinked and looked down.

[Leafwing12]

Noctis blinked. Ignis sighed, looking down. “Noct...When you return to the present time...I want you to just...Talk whatever is going on with us. Tensions are high. But you’re not going to fix anything by coming back here. You can’t change the past, Noct. All this is doing is just causing you more pain. You can’t run from the present and hope all these problems will go away. They won’t. So you need to talk to us to help resolve these problems.” Ignis said.

Noctis stared at him. He blinked, looking down, nodding. Yeah...Ignis was right....As Susie.

prompto nodded and looked down.
