"I don't know why, or how, but it seems to be happening for a lot of people." Prompto breathed, it hadn't happened to him.

"We need to go back though. You have to go back to the airship!"

He didn't know why he hadn't seen any of his own memories, but he was trying to help his friends and groupmates escape theirs.

"You just have to wake up, I think."

[regalblaze]

Going back sounds like a good idea but- how the hell does he do that?!

"Wake up... it sounds easier said than done," Ignis mutters and looks around. Is there anything here that he can use to throw both of them out of this memory? Because... it's not pleasant. At all.

As if on cue, the memory changes in a blur and now it shows Ravus and Ignis at Luna's and Noct's sides.

"Do I have to wait until the end of the memory?"

[chocobosnap]

"I don't know." Prompto gasped as they were next to them again, stepping forward as Noct appeared again.

"Maybe?"

He was wringing his hands a little, he wanted to go up and help but it was in the past, he wasn't there and there was nothing he could do.

"Just remember this ends...and Noct is fine, right? Fine on the airship. Not like this."

[regalblaze]

"He is..." Ignis says slowly, walking up next to Prompto. He's now more worried about Prompto seeing all of this, seeing Noct injured and laying there, Lady Lunafreya next to him.

"You, too, need to keep that in mind, Prompto." Ignis turns around as he hears 'Gladio' calling out, coming over without Prompto.

"This already happened. Come, the memory will end soon."

[chocobosnap]

"Yeah." He said absently, looking at Noctis on the ground again and then he saw 'Gladio' coming. But Gladio had arrived with him, hadn't he?

Prompto shivered and stepped back a bit.

"It's him." He whispered.

[regalblaze]

Yes, Gladio had indeed arrived with Prompto by his side. It was easy to guess that this Gladio was not the real one.

Ignis effectively stands between the scene and Prompto, blocking his vision. He says nothing but the look he gives the blond... Don't watch. Don't listen to it.

"The memory is coming to a close Prompto. Focus on that. We're leaving." Please, let him be right.

[chocobosnap]

Part of him wanted to know how it ended, he wanted to know what Ardyn did and how he was involved, but Ignis was blocking his view, trying to ensure he didn't see what was happening.

It was going to be bad. Whenever Ardyn Izunia was there, it was bad.

"I...yeah." Prompto answered shyly, and instead of looking around him, he relented to his request, not looking around Ignis, stepping forward to grab onto his shirt.

"Don't disappear on me, okay?"

[regalblaze]

Ignis doesn't want Prompto to see Gladio turn into Ardyn. Fuck, Ignis himself doesn't want to see it again. So when Prompto grabs onto his shirt, he nods and takes a hold of Prompto by his shoulders, to keep the gunslinger's attention on himself.

"I won't. I'll see you back on the spaceship, okay?" Ignis places his hand on Prompto's cheek, hoping it's distracting enough over the sounds in the background, now that MTs are rushing in.

[chocobosnap]

"Yeah. Okay." Prompto agreed, closing his eyes to block out the rest of the dream, the vision so real and it was Ignis'.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself on the airship he'd come in on, blinking a few times.

He could only hope that Ignis made it back to his airship, because he was nowhere to be seen.
