[It's a heavy burden to have upon oneself. Ignis had it thrust upon him since he was a child. He was specifically raised to be this way. And he can't even say he resents it or wishes it was different because he doesn't know what it would be like to be any way other than how he is now.
He reads over what Akira's typed twice over and a part of him just aches. Those are the words of someone who is gentle and kind. Someone who shouldn't be troubled with this kind of responsibility.
It takes a few minutes for Ignis to respond, brows furrowed in concentration as he types, pauses, deletes, and retypes on his device until at last he has something he thinks is satisfactory enough to show to Akira.]
Sometimes all the power in the world isn't enough.
Sometimes YOU aren't enough.
There will be things that you can't prevent no matter how strong you are or what you do.
It is not your fault.
A good leader is not someone who is able to prevent or avoid all hardship. No person can do that. A good leader is someone who lifts his head and stands tall despite of it.
[You can't save everyone. You can't do everything. Even the gods aren't capable of such feats. This is a hard lesson to learn and Ignis has never fully learned it himself.]
