Final Fantasy XV audio drama (book 4): Reckoning
pat the baker for Somnus Lucis Caelum
Appears in: Episodes 3
Character Reference: Somnus, in-game voice
Character Description: Brother to Ardyn and father of the royal line of Lucis. Usurped the throne, demonized his brother, and lied about literally everything that followed.
Voice Type: Mid pitch. Cultured voice, but takes on a whining/tremulous tone when frightened.
(GUARDED) Dreamer. Brother. To what do I owe this visit?
(DESPERATE) What was done to you——what I did to you——was unconscionable. There is nothing I can say in defense of it. Looking back, I hardly know what drove me thus. Some erroneous belief that, were you to remain king, Lucis would crumble into darkness. It was as if a great light blinded my vision and righteousness took hold. In all that has happened since the Dreamer took the ring——merely weeks of your time——I have come to wonder if they were not my thoughts at all.
(DESPERATE, TERRIFIED) Don’t. Please. I am sorry. A thousand times I am sorry, but no apology can ever be sufficient for my sins. Brother, please. I beg of you. Stay this madness and let us come to some understanding.
