[Despite the panic still echoing in his mind, Ignis lets the corner of his mouth turn up slightly, a grim smile to hide the fear bouncing around his head.] There is nothing of worth in me, you fool. I thought you could see more clearly than that.
[Ignis' normal accent twists into a mockery of Ardyn's own voice for several moments.]
A lie, then, if I've ever heard one. You protest it so very much. It's almost as if you are trying to convince yourself of its truth instead of convincing me. What have you seen within yourself? What have you felt that makes you doubt your own words so thoroughly? [His voice drops into a strangely gentle whisper, a tone completely at odds with everything around them and the panic that still rolls in his skull.]
What makes you so fear the name you were born with? Are you afraid that man is not as dead as you need him to be?
