Noctis looks out at the lounge, a few stragglers finally poking around. "So long as there are those who keep the light of hope alive, none are ever alone. Even in the darkest of nights." It's... a bit more deep than he usually goes, but it felt right. Just like the faint, tired laugh. "No prob. Just glad I could help." He turns back to Shiro, offering the same tired smile.
