Ignis shakes his head, finally calming down. The guilt is still there but it doesn't really matter right now. Noct looks confused and so is he because, now that he takes a better look at his prince, he looks as if he's seen a ghost, not him.

"...hold on, Noct," Ignis' eyes narrow as he finally catches the shine of the black, ominous Ring on Noct's hand.

"How- how did you get this?" What happened!? He is too wrapped up what was going on in their world to notice that they aren't there anymore.
