None of this is fair, nothing about this is even remotely fair to any one of them, but this is the hand they've been dealt, the path that had been chosen for them the moment Noctis was born. The question Ignis levels at him is not surprising; he's considered that at length, more attuned to his own emotions and state of mind than anyone usually expected him to be.
No, Noctis is aware of all of this, he knows damn well what he's doing and how fucked up he is, and his heart clenches when he raises his head to meet Ignis dead in the eye. ] The only other alternative is being without you, and I --
[ And he cannot abide -- the thought of it makes his throat close up, makes him reject it so fiercely; it's unthinkable to endure. ] There is no alternative. You can't ask that of me.
