Maybe I should have. Maybe I'm the Deputy and you're the Bounty that I need to kill. Wouldn't that be ironic? I could have ended this on day one. I wouldn't have had to sit here in this impure, hollow body, watching all of them run around like fools, watching you stand between me and my opponents, listening to your illogical mumblings over and over and over again... You're one of the most troublesome humans I've met, do you know that? You drive me crazy, Noctis. Maybe I should have killed you. But I thought I could make you change your mind. Isn't that funny?
