Ugh, poor Noct is breaking my heart. It's an incredible amount of trauma to live throughm and the way he flip-flops between wanting it to just be over so he could have his regular Ignis back, and feeling guilty over it, is just killing me.

But I also like that this is, like, the first time that Noct knows for sure what Ignis' position in his life is, what's the price of his loyalty is, and I love that as terrified as he is by it, he can't even let himself think about losing it. It's selfish and understandable and worrying and sad, and I adore it.
