[Ardyn immediately fell silent, staring at Queenie like he wasn't even sure what to think. Would it really be that simple? He'd forget the Accursed, forget the rampaging hatred of the scourge coursing through him...his exile, Niflheim, Lunafreya, Noctis, Izunia-]
...no. [He shook his head slightly; yellow eyes sharply determined as his voice turned to conviction.] I have no right to run away from this; that would be an act of the coward you called me back at that party. And I am not a coward, now or ever.
Even if it destroys me once we leave this place, that is my choice to make and my end to reach after a life far too long for my preference. This price is a fair one for my humanity after all the pain that I caused, and I will accept it.
