[Prompto waits patiently, stewing in his own thoughts. He does know, but it's hard to accept. Accepting it means accepting that this is beyond anything they faced back home. If those things were really human before...
His thoughts are going the same way as Noctis's. What if the sound eaters had just been normal people before? What if it isn't their fault that they are like this?
When he reads Noctis's message, he swallows hard.]
that's a pretty heavy question dude.
[It's an attempt at levity that he knows falls flat, but it gives him a moment to think about the question. If it was just a normal person who was... transformed, somehow. And it was coming at him. Would he be able to kill it, knowing there's a chance it might be human? Would he be able to pull the trigger (metaphorically, considering the circumstances), knowing that he might be killing some innocent person who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
For himself, he doesn't think so.
But if that thing were going for Noct... definitely.
He knows saying that would just make Noctis upset, though.]
if I didn't have a choice. but I wouldn't be happy about it. I mean, it's probably not their fault that this happened.
right?
