I know it's not fair. I know precious little has been fair, for you, for most of your life.
[ He's sorry, he's so, so sorry, because if ever there were a person who deserved fairness, who deserved something right, it's Noctis. He's sacrificed everything so that everyone else can lead the lives they did before Ardyn and his machinations, and now he's sacrificing again, every moment in an unhappy marriage.

I told you I would be ever at your side, Noctis. It may not be in the same capacity, but maybe I've been the one letting this drag on for too long. [ Maybe, he says, as if it's not absolutely his fault for letting this go on so long. ] I'm going to shower. I'm not -- Six damn us both but I'm not going to let anything happen before a shower.
