the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

I... I know it's just... makes me wonder. Forget it. [This is hardly the time to imagine Insomnia's destruction... or get emotional about how he was destined to leave his whole world behind like this... Prompto doesn't even know. He shouldn't tell him either. There is no point. It would only serve to hurt him.]

We have to get more of them on the ship... then maybe a break. We're useless if we wear ourselves out here.

Noct... [Prompto gives his friend a concerned look, but he doesn't have the time or luxury to comfort or pry into what Noctis meant to say. They've got a herd of people to get to safety.

He nods, a little hesitant. A break is probably a good idea, though it feels kind of ... selfish.]
Yeah ... Yeah. Okay.
