[He's not going to deny it. He'd already acknowledged that knowing and seeing were two different things, and both hurt in different ways. When he spoke with Bahamut his chest hadn't ached with the same phantom pains as he'd carried after he broke free of the vision, he hadn't seen his own heart stopped or his last breath taken. Hadn't seen how much of an ordeal it was going to be, how he wasn't meant to just die but go through more pain, more suffering, for the sake of the world. And he still has to do it, he will, but... the gods have already asked so much of him. Why must there be more?
Those thoughts make him grimace, and stubbornly he shoves it aside. He'd done enough brooding about it today, surely.]
Neither of us had a choice to see it, but you didn't, either. I worry about you too. Not just for the memory- Ardyn must've seen you as a crystal, right?
[She's been so careful with her identity, holding her secrets close to her chest. To have it once more revealed against her will... she hadn't said anything, and that's worrisome as well.]
