[He was actually debating to just not answer. But then Gladio would hunt him down so-]

I am

Iggy mentioned prophecy to Prompto
So he asked me about it
I couldn't lie to him

[blkwings]

Shit.

Except we're going to fight it every step of the way. Right?

[nocts]

There was no way I couldn't

I want to say yes but
when I stop and think about it
If we don't really find any other way
I'll do it.

[blkwings]

So what you told me was bullshit?

[nocts]

I'll do anything you ask of me

I'll fight until I can't breathe

But I'm not letting you guys die for me if it comes down to it. If that ends up being the only solution for me surviving, I choose you guys over me.

[blkwings]

Comes with the job, Noct.

But anyway- Who the fuck said anything like that was needed? There's other ways. There's got to be other ways, and I'm sure as hell not gonna see any of you die. Do you know something I don't?

[nocts]

I don't want it to come with your job!
I don't care how much Citadel tried to make it sound CASUAL that you all should die for me
I am not that and I never will be

No
I know nothing more than what Bahamut told me inside the Crystal
But he sounded like there was no other way

[blkwings]

Fuck Bahamut, Noct. I'm not losing you.

He ain't all-powerful, and he ain't all-knowing. He sure as shit didn't know about this place for a start.

[nocts]

I don't think anyone knew of this place

But he is the Head Astral. You know- the one that sets the rules? I'm not taking a chance of ruining your lives even further than it already is.

[blkwings]

Exactly. It's not in the prophecy. It's proof shit can happen without being ordained.

You really think we're just gonna shrug and get on with our lives when you're dead? Do you even know us at all?

[nocts]

No, I don't think you're going to shrug it off

But don't think I will just shrug it off either if any of you try to take my place.

Protecting all of you is my duty as a King.

[blkwings]

So that's it, huh. Screw even looking for another way, you're just gonna lie down and die.

Being a King is protecting the people. It's being there for them, guiding them and overseeing them, for the long term. It's not throwing your life away without even fucking trying to change things.

[nocts]

I never said I wouldn't look for a different way.

I just don't hold much hope for finding it.

And if I don't do what is asked of me if we don't succeed in finding that different way, all those people you managed to save during ten years will perish.

[blkwings]

We'll find one.
Alright?

[nocts]

[Noctis seriously wants to believe in the words Gladio says. Regardless of how hopeless it feels. He can at least give them some hope-]

Alright. Let's do it.
