Wake up, Noct. We're almost there.

We in Caem already?

Not quite. Just stopping once more to top off the tank.

I'm starving!

You and me both.

Wake me when we get there.

Ready to order?

What to choose, what to choose.

What're you getting, Noct?

Hmm...

Noct?

What?

Burgers and drinks for four. I'll leave the details up to you.

Thaff waff cloff!

Don't talk with your mouth full.

Think she recognized you?

Doubt it.

Be more careful from now on.

We don't want to cause a sce—

Noct.

Ignis.

Quit babying him, or he'll never outgrow that picky eating.

I appreciate the advice. If you could, tell him that yourself.

Why me?

Because I say it every day.

It ain't my problem.

Come on, you two. No fighting at the table!

We're not fighting.

Pipe down. Trying to eat here.

Well, that's a first.

Come on, we gotta get on the boat soon.

Can't we all just get along?

I told you: we're not fighting.

Oh? Well, if you say so!

We're set to arrive in Caem tomorrow.

If all goes well, that is.

Indeed. We're likely to run into the empire along the way.

Lucis is no longer—

Prompto!

The hell, man!?

What a mess. Could we get some napkins?

My bad!

The Kingdom of Lucis, now under imperial occupation, plunged into anarchy following the death of its royal family.

In its first steps toward quelling the unrest, the empire has established a provisional government in the Crown City.

Discussions regarding just who will fill the positions in this government are already well underway.

By including candidates with no political ties, the empire hopes to bring an early end to discord in the capital.

Look—over there!

Let's go.

Didn't expect those buckets of bolts to sniff us out so quickly.

Think they're coming for us?

We need to find a place to hide.

Lucis and Niflheim were at war for a long time.

Then Lucis lost.

The news says the royal family's dead and the imperial army's overtaken the Crown City.

But I'm still alive. Alive and on my way to see Luna.

And I've gotta stay alive. There's still so much I wanna tell Dad.

What?

Food's ready!

Better than bean soup, I guess.

You can say that again.

No one's forcing you to eat it.

This is good.

Time to chow down!

Wonder how much longer we'll be able to eat in peace like this.

The time will come when we need to take action and reclaim our home.

I guess we can't always be together...

Stop that.

How many have you taken?

Too many!

They'll make a fine record of our journey.

Right! This started out as a road trip to Noct and Luna's wedding,

but then all that stuff went down at the capital and...

To be honest, I didn't think we'd make it this far together.

After all, I'm just your average plebe. I'm more trouble than I'm worth.

You can say that again.

Hey, ouch!

On my own... It would have been impossible.

Huh?

But I'm not on this journey alone, so... Thanks. For coming this far with me.

Heh. Took you long enough.

Happy to be of service.

That so?

Coffee, anyone?

Sure.

Me, too! Me, too!

Early day tomorrow. Better quit while you're ahead.

Come on, I can't not have this coffee.

Fine. But bed right after.

I'm not even sleepy.

Then let's play a game!

First, we prepare for tomorrow.

Wonder how Luna's doing. Any idea, Noct?

Who knows.

"Who knows"? You know, don't you?

Course he does. That's why we're crossin' the sea.

He's more concerned than anyone about Lady Lunafreya's well being.

I'm going to bed.

Whoa, you're turning red!

Shut up!

Seems he ain't outgrown puberty, either.

Getting through won't be easy.

Damn. Why'd they have to be here?

Looks like they're on high alert.

But this is the only way through.

You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

You bet I am.

Then let's give it a shot!

But we can't shoot blindly. We need a plan first.

Noct, go all out from the start. Take out half their numbers in the first swipe. You'll be our diversion.

Got it.

Thank you!

Quit messin' around.

All right!

Keep it up!

Was this...a trap?

Noct...is that...?

Yeah. No doubt about it. That's definitely...

What IS that!?

That is...the monster that nearly took Noct's life.

Noct!
