Now Ignis stops completely and turns around to stare at the Altar. If Noct is still passed out, why can he hear him speaking!? The distraction let Ravus send him flying against the wall and Ignis grunted in pain as he got back on his feet. Does he... not hear Noct speak?

"Wait... what is--" Ignis blocks the attack, gritting his teeth and pushes Ravus back with a kick. Does he know what will happen? Well... he did see the future. The prophecy- hallucination- whatever his tired mind came up with, he can't think about that right now. But- if Noct is right, and he lived through this-

Ravus charged at him again and Ignis brought up his hands in defense, closing his eyes tightly. He trusts him... he trusts Noct to be right about this.

I lived through this...

The blade passed through him without leaving any injury. Ignis gasped loudly, trying to catch his breath as the scene around him changed. What... what happened!?

"...Noct?"

Ignis turns around- Noct is still lying at the altar but- Ravus is standing there again. Not to attack Noct but-

"I always knew...that you would face your fate without fear, fulfill your duty without regret..."

...he did see this before. And it didn't make his chest hurt less. His hands clenched into fists- "Sister, please... don't go!...please, don't leave me...!"

"What's... going on?" Ignis whispered, feeling as if his head is going to explode.
