[translation] FFXV fancomic by parlick: "Picture" (Gladio/Ignis)

VERY SAD GLADNIS COMIC. Post-canon, hurt-no-comfort.


Legend:
parts I'm 100% just guessing at are denoted with [brackets]



Gladio:
“Do you still remember what I looked like growing up? It’s been 10 years since that day.”


Ignis:
“Don’t underestimate me.”

“I can never forget. Whether it’s the you that had just joined the Crownsguard, the you that had just gotten this scar on his face, or the you that I had spent those days travelling with—I remember each of them clearly.”

“As clearly as if I’d just seen them yesterday*."

“Your hair is longer. You keep it tied up.”

“Your beard is thicker.”

“Your eyebrows draw tighter.”

“The lines around your eyes mark the years.”

“But the corner of your mouth... you’re smiling now, aren’t you? I’ve come to think you look best when you’re smiling.”

“Dashing and alight with the fire of youth.”

“The present you must [hold a steadier kind of warmth].” (is this 熱???? or 熟???? text too small rip)

“This more majestic you... what does he look like?"

“No.”

“This can’t be happening.”

“I can’t see it.”

“I really want to see you one more time.”

* 一清二楚: "as clear as day", but I didn't know how to grammar.
