Noctis and the gang discussed their lives after highschool together. Noctis just stayed around the palace. Ignis worked as a cook, right before working for the royal family. Gladiolus trained with his father to then fight alongside him and Prompto...remained silent.

"Come on, buddy. Surely you did something after highschool", the prince kept on trying for an answer. The blonde boy pulled up his shoulders. "Nah. Sorry guys. I just...don't wanna talk about it, guess", he said. His comrades let it slide and continued playing 'King's Night'.

Later that evening, Prompto suddenly came into Noctis' room, looking serious. "Hey Noct..." "Prompto? What are you doing up so late?" The blonde boy didn't answer. He looked down to the floor. "You wanted to know what I did after highschool, right? Before I joined you guys?" The prince nodded. "Yeah, but you don't--" "I wanna...really." Noctis scratched the back of his head and nodded. "Alright." With that, his comrade came to sit next to him and sighed.

"Back in the day I...briefly had a job." Noctis slightly tilted his head, confused. "Huh? Really? Where?" Prompto slightly smiled, thinking about his old working place. "That coffee shop where we used to go after school. You know, the one right across our school Insomnia High." The prince quickly nodded and smiled, remembering the place. "Really? Choco Coffee?" Prompto chuckled. "Yup, the one and only." "Our Prompto, a barista. Who would've thought..."

Prompto smiled, but that however faded like snow in the sun. "I...I actually got to meet her, but...I was too much of a chocobo chick to--!" "Prompto?" The prince looked concerned at his friend. Without even knowing, Prompto's hands were trembling fists. Seeing Noctis' worried face, he quickly relaxed his hands and sighed.

"I met her there, Noct..." "Who?" Prompto snickered. "Oh, you know..." Realising who he meant, Noctis' eyes briefly widened. "No way! You met Cindy-?!" "Shhh! Noct, not so loud!" Prompto whispered loudly. "...and yeah...I did, but...I think she doesn't remember anymore..." Hearing Prompto talk like that, the prince was starting to notice something. "There's...more, right?" Prompto stayed quiet, looking down to the floor.
