He'd be more than willing to answer that question if he was allowed to. Instead, he tries to hold onto him as much as he can before they're inevitably split apart by the memory itself. Yet when he sees Ardyn, it's like everything else doesn't matter. He wants to bowl them all over. Send ephemeral blades into metal and daemonic flesh and have them scatter. Yet that doesn't matter nearly as much as reaching Ignis. He slides on wet stone, until he's right beside him and that foot is about to slam down on Ignis' head and-

He grabs a hold, right as the memory ends.

Noctis opens his eyes, realizing where they are now. The Dream Width. That's right, they... they need to get back to the airship. Before it's too late. Noctis looks around, finding the one Ignis was supposed to be in not far from them. Airlock open and waiting. If he could just get them both there, then they'd both be fine.

He really didn't leave my side... are the last words that went through Ignis' mind before the memory knocked him out. And it didn't repeat. Ignis felt being weightless in some kind of darkness for an unknown amount of time. Was it seconds? Minutes? Since the memory ended? He can't tell.

Be he can feel someone gripping tightly onto him. Was that also some kind of dream? Another memory?

Ignis forces his eyes open just in time to see Noct shove him towards the airlock. What-

His hand reached out to grab onto Noct and pull him in with him but another turbulence in the nebula pushed them apart- Ignis inside of the ship and Noct still floating out there. And he can't accept that- not with how Noct's eyes are slipping close.

...He's going after him. There is no chance Ignis will let Noct stay there for any longer. Not after what they just went through in Ignis' memory.

Noctis smiles faintly, relief washing over him in an instant as Ignis opens his eyes. 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. That's when it hit him.

'You can breathe once you leave the ship. The danger is being trapped in your own memories.'

Ignis already had his time, and he has no way of getting them both to safety. So, going by that logic...

"See you soon." He mutters, before pushing Ignis away and toward the ship and safety. Right as another nebula forms around him. 'I'm sorry, Iggy.'

Don't... die on me.

He's going to regret that errant thought when next they meet and he knows it, but without any further fanfare... his eyes slip closed. Light... So much light...
