[He's caught for a second. 'It's not always about where you come from or what you do,' except when it is, except when where someone comes from means he only has a short while with all those lives he's touched, has brought light to with how much, how completely he loves.
Prompto hesitates, then slowly looks down at the crumbs on his plate.]
It's... pretty dangerous, yeah. We've been trained by the best, and Noct has his magic, but...
[But without his camera, he'd have forgotten how daylight spreads over all the regions of Lucis. He'd forget what Gladio's warm, easy smile looks like. How to make Ignis laugh.
He'd forget a time when Noct was happy--if that time had even ever existed. If they hadn't all lived their days in fear, like Prompto had even before he knew what monsters waited in the dark places he couldn't see.
'Oh, how I love bringing families together!']
We've lost a lot. And we're still a long way off from winning.
[Prompto doesn't know if they can win. And if winning means losing Noct like Izunia said, then he doesn't think he wants to win, ever, at all. Even though he knows what that means. He chuckles weakly.]
I know we can't give up, but honestly, I wish we could stay here instead, you know? [He shrugs, trying to play if off, but his smile falls flat.] If we didn't still have friends back there, maybe I'd look for a way to stay. But I guess that's not up to me.
