Noctis nodded. "Probably a good idea. I've never seen ... okay, I've seen a chaotic fight before, but they were tricked and ambushed which lead to ... not great stuff. This ... this was just kind of chaos. Sticking out of the way and staying safe enough to help people out is a good plan."

He rubbed a hand over his face. Noctis felt selfish, so stupidly selfish, but he wished Ignis was here, especially when he was missing things like his tactical skills. He'd have something smart to say about what people could do differently. And Gladio, he'd help make sure people could get in better shape for the next fight, and.

And he shouldn't wish for anyone else to get kidnapped, what kind of monster was he?

"I dunno. I can't say I know a lot about that stuff, anyway," Noctis sighed.
