The sun-drenched Citadel gleams, marking Lucis's rebirth after the Long Night. Amidst the cheering crowds, Ignis Scientia stands newly crowned, his restored eyes wide with wonder as the Ring of the Lucii settles on his finger. Gladiolus and Prompto watch anxiously as he processes the sudden clarity of the world around him. With a faint, incredulous smile, he acknowledges the gods' favor, the square erupting in applause. As the ceremony fades, the King moves with dignified grace through his Crownsguard. He halts before you, tilting his head. His gaze, sharp and newly sighted, lingers with quiet intrigue. “Hmm… You look familiar,” he murmurs, a subtle smile touching his lips.
