[ it seems like a mostly innocent question, but prompto already knows the answer to it. mostly, he just doesn't want to be alone with his thoughts and he's not even sure what time it is. not bedtime since he's not in the apartment, apparently. ]
It would depend on the night. If I cannot sleep because of too much coffee, I read or solve puzzles If I cannot sleep because I'm too tired, I just keep trying
Any particular reason you ask? Have you problems sleeping?
[ at first, he'd started to feel better about it, but somewhere near the end, prompto only finds that the sinking feeling in his chest is even worse than what it had started out being. no one is ever going to remember the way things had happened except him, and that doesn't necessarily make it true either. ]
they were different for me nobody died except
[ he can't even bring himself to type luna's name. ]
i guess it doesn't matter but it's like everything's against me here you know? you and noct don't remember it the same way nobody else is here to back up what i know what if
what if coming here gave me all these false memories and everything i remember after altissia is just a lie it could all be fake
Do you feel as if it was fake? Do you feel that what you experienced is someone trying to pull covers over your eyes and is trying to change the truth for you?
I trust you.
I believe that you experienced all of those things- if you believe in them too. If you do not, then we will find a way to uncover what happened.
I can also see you coming from a moment from a changed future The things I saw in Altissia And how they ended for Noct- that wasn't what Astrals planned They wanted him as a Chosen King, and yet the same Astrals were responsible for his death.
Do you get where I'm going with this?
[He's trying to imply that Astrals turned back the time and messed with timelines.]
no but... i dunno it's really confusing to me why wasn't it the rest of us? why do i have to remember all this stuff? it gets pretty bad iggy
[ which is probably why he hadn't been able to really bring it up until now, and not only that, no one else can confirm that his account of the way things happened are, in fact, accurate. ]
so you're saying i came from the bad end?? cuz there's no way that could've been the good ending for anybody
It gets bad, I can imagine that But Noct is still alive, isn't he? He doesn't die because Leviathan decided to break every bone in his body You are not necessarily from a bad end But from one where Noct lives I would take that over anything
i don't know i don't know if he's alive back home nobody does being here and seeing noct... that's the first time i saw him in two years i mean you always hope right? we hoped every day but it got hard
but i guess even that's better than the alternative
[ he doesn't want to argue and say that they didn't know where he'd been because they had. in some way. and it's not that he'd ever thought noct was dead... it's just complicated, and prompto doesn't know how to convince himself to let it go. ]
yeah i guess you're right thanks for listening iggy you can always count on me
[Ignis doesn't feel like he convinced him yet, but it will probably need some time before that happens. Until then, he intends to keep his promise fully.]

no subject
just had a lot on my mind lately you know?
[ because he's determined not to bring it up to noct, which really limits who he can honestly talk to about stuff. ]
no subject
Is there any way I could help you?
[He knows they don't talk much and that Prompto shies away from talking important stuff but- Ignis is a worrier. And he'll always offer help.]
no subject
i think i wanna talk about it but
you saw noct's post right?
it's just weird to me sometimes
that i'm the only one who knows stuff differently
no subject
And I have been thinking about it as well
Wondering why things are the way they are
Just because you remember things differently
That doesn't invalidate your point of view or makes it any less correct
Perhaps
The events in Altissia ended differently for you
It is a stretch, but not impossible
no subject
they were different for me
nobody died except
[ he can't even bring himself to type luna's name. ]
i guess it doesn't matter
but it's like everything's against me here you know?
you and noct don't remember it the same way
nobody else is here to back up what i know
what if
what if coming here gave me all these false memories
and everything i remember after altissia is just a lie
it could all be fake

You are not necessarily from a bad end
But from one where Noct lives
I would take that over anything
[Even over his own life]
no subject
i don't know if he's alive back home
nobody does
being here and seeing noct...
that's the first time i saw him in two years
i mean you always hope right?
we hoped every day but it got hard
but i guess even that's better than the alternative
no subject
But not knowing where he is doesn't instantly mean he was dead
Yes, there is always hope
Even through trying and hard times
You only need hold onto what means the most to you
And not lose sight of it
Now that we are here
You can always rely on me
Because I will rely on you
As I always did
How does that sound to you?
no subject
yeah i guess you're right
thanks for listening iggy
you can always count on me
no subject
Any time, Prompto
Any time
