maybe someday all this will make sense.
eyes seem distant, shoulders in a stance that almost looks... defeated. it's been years since hearing his mothers voice, a sound so similar to a chime in the gentle winds of summer. it reminds one of home and nostalgia that had been locked away to cope with her absence. his hands almost seem like he doesn't know what he should be doing, pleading as he instinctively wants to reach out and touch. where have you been? help, i've been so lost since i've lost my father. it's so cold without either of you. i regret taking him for granted, that he would be there when i came back. " someday? " the voice cracks, incredulous and akin to when a child doesn't quite understand. " i need to know now... mom. i don't know what i'm doing or where i'm going. " the hands finally clench into fists, breath shaky and on the verge of tears. " gladio, prompto, and ignis... they've done so much for me and i can't do a damn thing in return. " he takes a step closer, desperate. and soon luna, too, shall be out of reach, suffocating and drowning while feeling so hopeless. now is not its time, he doesn't need to know that quite yet.
however, he knows his purpose. foolishly living in the light and thinking he would take over his kingdom in his fathers footsteps. except only he will pair so deliciously with the dark and its siblings, the stars. no longer a mortal but a shadow to be defeated to let the light slip through the cracks. this wasn't as fun of a trip he originally thought. teeth chew down on his bottom lip, thoughts surging into one another. " just... answer this for me. " he can't look at her, too afraid the words will slip free incoherent and not everything he wants to say. teeth grit so much that his jaw aches. " will i see you again when it all ends? " i want you to be proud of me and everything i managed to accomplish. you and dad. something to hide.
