Ignis envisioned himself standing by Noct's side, as his advisor, for the longest time. It was what he strived to be, all of his training, years spent with Noct, tutoring him and supporting him in the darkest of times.

Face buried into his hands now, glasses knocked off to the side, Ignis finally breaks into louder sobs, "T-There's nothing- nothing I can do! I - I was trained to protect him from e-everything-! Why can't I-" protect him from his own destiny!?
