"It can't be controlled. That is why there are those who would discourage it completely," Ignis pauses a moment as something clicks together in his mind. "Your home... They wanted to use you like tools, and they needed to be able to control you as well. Am I right?"

He has to hold back a shiver. While he still doesn't know all the details of what Prompto found out when he was on his own, Shion's description makes him think far too much of all the terrible things that happened in Niflheim. Was it that kind of thinking that lead the Emperor and his men to doing all they did? Ardyn's never been shy about admitting he no longer understands love; he been even more persistent about the fact he can no longer feel it. It's safer that way. More in control.

But, it's empty as well. So very empty.
