I know, and you were right to. That doesn't make you less, Noct, it makes it more important that you had this pushed onto you, that you didn't want it or seek it - and yet you gave everything you had anyway. You can resent it if you want. I resent what you had to do. But I also love you for doing it anyway.
Do you imagine that being here without you, missing you and wishing for you, would make it easier to go back to a world where we do the same thing? No. Having this time with you is a gift, Noctis. Whether we get to stay here and keep it, or go back - it's still ours now. And you being here to be a part of it is what makes it something we can be happy in.
