[Ardyn blinked in surprise, as though that was the last reaction he actually expected. His hand wasn't exactly cold, but if just that much contact was any indication his body temperature was too low to be that of a living human.]
[When the prophecy is fulfilled, all in thrall to darkness shall know peace.]
[There was a spark of something in the back of his mind--that same frustration and rage he had felt facing Lunafreya. Don't you dare look at me and presume you know what this is like. I don't need your pity or your sympathy. Get out of my sight.]
[He glanced down to their hands--to the Ring of the Lucii only just visible between Yuuri's fingers. Either it was as fake as he was...or it was the only proof he was still Ardyn Lucis Caelum at all.]
...I think I may be turning into something terrible, Yuuri. Or--it may be more accurate to say that I did and am only now beginning to remember it.
The 'Ardyn' that all of you know...may no longer exist. And I don't know what the monster that replaced him might end up doing to any of you. If all of you trust the person that you know, then what he became will stab every last one of you in the back.
