❰ this is no joke. this is the farthest thing from a joke that gladio has probably told anyone in his whole life. if a lesser army of magitech soldiers are going to show up on their doorway, maybe that's how this is supposed to go. and he'll fight and what's left of their army will put him down hard, or else he'll wipe them out and that, that'll be his sign that he was meant to make it through this.

but ignis is being obstinate and gladio's getting tied of the argument, so he's going to have to put an end to this somehow. ❱

You can get the civilians out of here, or you can stand here and bitch at me 'til the Niffs come and gun them all down.
