Prompto felt a faint surge of pride over that, that even with all those other people, including someone whose job it was to root out this sort of unhappy disobedience, and he was the one to figure it out. Pride, but he also felt terrible, because why did it have to be Nina, out of anyone?

"I did see them," he confirmed, and he stopped, so that he could snake his arm out of Nina's and turn to look at him, his plastic face as serious as the moment it came out of the packaging.

Something I....something I almost wish I didn't see, but I still saw it, and it's not like I can just unsee it, either!"
