Yeah... he's not the type to blame me, anyway. He's too nice for that.

[Too kind, too forgiving. Noctis is grateful for that, in truth. He shoves enough blame onto his own shoulders, and despite the guilt he'd felt any time he did Prompto wrong somehow, he's always been gracious about letting Noct know that it's okay. Canceled plans due to royal stuff, dancing around state secrets any time it came up when they were spending time together... throwing him off a moving train. Every time, Prompto said it was okay. And now this, and... he'd only cried and wished for a better way. How did Noctis manage to get himself a friend that's been so great to him this whole time?]

Dunno if there's a way to be "ready" for this sort of thing. Maybe eventually, but... I'm a long ways from that. Except stuff keeps forcing my hand.
