[Despite the fact he can't let himself give into Ardyn's argument, Ignis still finds himself leaning into that reassuring touch.]
When given the choice of a dream world to create, it wasn't his heart that won out; it was yours. You've fought so long to remain--to let yourself feel happiness again. Here it is. Take hold of it and make him remember. End the torment. Wake up and be whole again. [For so long, Ignis has let himself see Ardyn, the Chancellor, and Ardyn, the Healer-King as two separate people even though he knows it's wrong. They are two parts of the same whole. He has to accept that now and stop lying to himself, because if he doesn't, how can he expect Ardyn to?]
Make this happiness you so wish for permanent and real. You deserve no less after everything that Bahamut has taken from you.
