>>3158320It's interesting that in Verse 2 he won by being selfish and essentially failing his duty. His duty as Noctis' right hand was to help him protect his country and people, but when pressed, he admitted he doesn't care for all that. Hell, he was willing to let the world go to hell just to save him. He's called Noctis' Hand, but he's also his selfishness - something Noct doesn't have, which in the original timeline meant his death sentence.
>This world means nothing to me. Do with it as you wish. But I refuse to let Noct sacrifice his life to save ours. I won't let you take him away!
