[ He's important. He's so important to Noctis in the time that they had shared here -- Noctis has shed more than his share of tears because death is terrible in all its forms, infinitely cruel and Noctis has never quite learned to handle it even if he has been faced with it all his life.
Dex didn't die protecting him, but it doesn't matter. He's his friend and he should have been protected, looked out for, and for the past few days Noctis fights not to think about just how he had gone, the fear he might've felt. The things that he hadn't finished.
Guren, alone in that kitchen with that stone.
Noctis takes comfort from both his companions, buries his face in Ignis' chest, squeezes Prompto a little harder and doesn't look at the empty room that Dex used to be. They were like brothers of a kind, too -- Joshua, Estelle, Dex and him and look what happened.
But then it's late in the night and Noctis is the one who answers the door, having half a mind to get up for a glass of water. When he opens it, expecting either Joshua or Estelle, the sight of Dex standing right there makes him stare in shocked surprise. ]
Uh.
[ Is this a dream? Is he hallucinating? He pinches himself, hard. Time to wake, if it's a dream. Guren said the dead can never come back to life. So is it a joke -- Noctis narrows his eyes, sword shimmering in his hand in a flare of blue. ]
If you're some monster here to fuck with me, I'm not in the mood.
