As the memory dissolves from around them, leaving them back in the world they now occupy, their home now, the clouds are still thick, a drizzling rain weeping onto the sodden ground. Prompto barely notices it, his gaze still fixed on Ardyn, brow taut, the corners of his eyes almost...sad. It's not the first time he's felt sorry for Ardyn, felt like for all his crimes he had been dealt an unfair path, but it's the first time he's felt it so acutely. Understanding this man is dangerous - he knows it is, and there are still choices Ardyn has made that Prompto will never be able to reconcile. How could he choose to cause so much destruction, so much pain and suffering just so he could at last have his rest? But even so, he understands how Ardyn arrived at that point. It had been a means to an end. Quite literally.
But it doesn't change his point of view. If anything...this has only humanized Ardyn more in his eyes. Has drawn out the man beyond the monster that has been there the whole time.
The silence lingers a moment longer, before he answers Ardyn's question with a question. ]
Do you regret it? Healing all those people, saving all those lives?
[ He honestly has no idea what answer he will get, but...it's important. ]
