I...have to reach Noctis.
[Another pause. More expectant silence. Then, again, a door — and Purple arrives.]
I have to reach Noctis.
[Now, at last, Pink nods and says softly: ]

And then one final door opens, and Red Ignis emerges, his eyes concealed behind dark glasses, and the only one of the Ignii to be actively carrying his spelldaggers in his belt.]
