The moment they find themselves free of the nebula, he realizes the hand that held the phone now holds another, smaller item. Tiny and pale blue, red little crystal on its forehead.
"Carbuncle," he mutters quietly, but before he could bring it to his chest, he feels a pair of hands pushing him away. In an instant, he recalls what brought him into his memories in the first place.
Relief flashes in his eyes as Ignis opens his, smiling faintly. But, he knows it wouldn't work. That they could both die if they're exposed to the Dream Width too long without the protection of memories—
He'd pushed him to the safety of an airship, too. Told him he'd see him again soon... Panic sparks to life in his eyes as he sees the nebula reforming around his new friend, as he flails against the momentum to reach him. No... No!
"Damn, sonova-" He doesn't finish that thought, reaching out with his free hand as if to grab him from the nebula before it fully forms, but his fingers touch nothing but empty matter. Not again. Not again—! He can't see this again even if it's with someone he barely knows in comparison...!
His back soon hits the floor of the airlock on the airship. Noctis hisses, grimacing as he takes hold of the side as it automatically closes and begins to pressurize. "Shiro- Shiro!"
