[The obvious is only obvious if you're not actively trying to avoid the thought. Prompto twitches when she makes her "joke," despite her heart's efforts to calm him, to keep him from seeing it all too closely. He's not fond of the dark, of being unable to see what's coming, even if it's scary. He's even less fond of his friends getting hurt. Sacrificing themselves.
