[ I just wanted to save you. They're words that repeat in his head, over and over again. Ignis has left him to tell the others that he's awake. Considering his injury, Noctis doesn't know how long he'll take. But for once, he's alright with being alone. It lets him grieve in peace. Maybe Ignis thought it would be better for him that way. Maybe Ignis just didn't know what to say.
He flips through the pages of the journal. There's so many memories, so many notes they've written to each other. Promises that they'd be together, that one day they would be married. His eyes catch over the words 'I love you' written in neat writing over the page and he lets his fingers trace over each letter. He can feel the sting of tears threatening to fall and he tries holding them back. Eventually he loses that battle and a soft sob falls from his lips. ]
I'm sorry...
[He doesn't know how long he sits there flipping through the pages. There's letters exchanged through the years. Some happy, some sad. Pictures and flowers pressed between pages with notes written to the side. Finally he reaches the end-- a sylleblossom is pressed against the last page and he closes his eyes again. How could this happen? How could he let this happen to her?
He flips to the last page and expects to see it blank. Instead there's a final note. Something distinctly in Luna's handwriting with an address below it. He looks up and out toward the window. Could she really be alive? This was obviously in her writing... It had to be her!
He shoves his boots on and grabs his jacket. He's still tired and exhausted from the battle with Leviathan, but he can't ignore this. It might be a trap, it might be a set up by the Niffs to capture him, but he has to go. If there's even the smallest chance that Luna could be alive, then he has to go. He goes down the hallways, slips past the rooms where he can hear his friend's voices. They would probably stop him, anyways. He can't let that happen, so he keeps going until he ends up outside of the hotel.
He's greeted by Umbra who lets out an excited bark and the prince takes a moment to scratch his ears and give him a pat to the side. ]
Good boy. Now let's go see Luna.
[ They run through what's... left of Altissia. It's all a disaster and Noctis can only hope that their evacuation efforts were successful. The beautiful city on the water is practically in ruin. It's not the level of devastation that Lucis is in, but it's not much better. This is something he'll make right. But for now, he has to find the oracle.
Eventually they reach a hotel. It's one of the few buildings that looks to be untouched. There's a surprising lack of guards which is suspicious but Noctis isn't going to think about it too much now. Not when Luna could be so close. Umbra leads him up the stairs to a closed off room that seems to be isolated from the others. The dog scratches at the door and Noctis gives a nod before he opens it.
so 10 years late and then i wrote a novel. IM SORRY

Hopefully this wasn't a trap. ]
