week 7; letter (milla)
Milla,
If Umbra is bringing you this, it means my death has come to pass. I'm sorry I couldn't make it... really, I am.
I don't think I need to tell you to keep your head up. I know that you'll keep moving forward to the end, and I know you'll do your best to keep the others afloat, too. If anything... I'm counting on you to be able to do this, more than anyone else who remains. If anyone can do that, I know it's you.
But like before, it's not all I can say. Thank you. For listening to what I had to say and letting me be bold that first time. I know it's not very much like me, but what can I say? I really meant it when I said you're the type of person who makes me want to do better. It would have been fleeting, because we both have our duties to return to, but... I don't have any regrets. And I hope you won't, either.
The memento you gave me, I was keeping it in my pocket. I hope you'll be able to get it back, because I don't want something so important to you to be lost because I didn't survive.
I have no idea if we'll meet again. Though... I hope we do. I'd like to see you one last time, and maybe do a few of those things we did before we'd really have to part ways. If we can't, then at least, I hope you won't forget me and what happened when it's all over. Even if the time we had together was short, I won't forget it. Fight hard, you have humans and spirits you need to get home to, in order to protect. I'll watch you from this side—and if you find who is responsible for my death, please make sure nobody goes after them for vengeance. I don't want that; not when I know it is probably someone near to us both.
Yours,
Noctis

Luna,
I know there's no way to get a letter like this to you, but I guess I hope that somehow you'll see it anyway. In this place, in this awful place... you're watching, right? I have a hard time believing these people ended up in the same place I did without any other reason. Because... you'd find a way, wouldn't you? To guide people to me that would ground me and keep my head on straight.
That would do what everyone back home would do, to make sure that I could fulfill my duty.
People like Percy, Jason and Shinnsouke—the kind of friends that will have your back no matter how much you bicker. People like Barnham, who guide others with a sense of justice and a duty to protect. People like Milla... who are strong and never stop, no matter what kind of obstacles they face.
They're the kind of people I like to be around. If it weren't for them, I'm not sure how I would have made it this long without losing my mind. They're... really great, Luna. I know nothing could be the same as back home, but I treasure all of them more than I thought I could in just a few weeks. And I guess if you're watching, you probably know what happened with Milla too. But, you're happy for me, right? That I could find someone else who made me want to live up to that title, and someone I wanted to see smile too. I felt bad for a while, but I just can't picture it making you mad, either. You'd have loved her, if you could have met her. I bet you'd have been great friends.
Not many people know what I want better than you. Twelve years will do that, even if we were apart for most of it. And I guess now that my time may be over, I'm...
Kind of sentimental. I'm sorry to you too. I know you never held it against me that I couldn't protect you, because you protected me to the end. I'm sorry that it seems to soon for me to turn to anyone else that way. And I'm sorry... if I failed here too, even with those guiding lights. I'm sorry that Umbra is going to have to keep carrying on without either of us, and without Pryna, too.
Will I see you again, Luna? I hope somehow, we can. I didn't get to Altissia fast enough but...
You know I still miss you too.
Wherever I go from here, please. Keep watching over me. That's all I can ask of you.
