The fact that this was true brings up plenty of other questions. None of which matter right now. He's stuck like deer in headlights, not knowing what to do or say to comfort Prompto because... there's nothing that will lessen this pain.

So he just holds him. And lets him rub his eyes as he tries to stifle and bite back his own sobs because it's finally hitting him full force. His fingers twist in on the back of Prompto's shirt.

When Prompto pulls away a bit, Ignis says with a shaky voice, "I'm... I'm sorry I had to- to break it to you like this but..." a sob made him hiccup and he pressed the fist against his lips for a moment. "But... you deserve to know..."

Ignis doesn't know what they are going to do without Noct. His whole life revolved around Noct's existence, ever since he was six. He felt as if someone moved earth from underneath his feet and left him falling. And the landing is going to be devastating.
