As always, the issue is more complicated than he first realized. But isn't that always the way?
"Given that there was a rebellion, something tells me not enough. Maybe it wasn't like that everywhere, but people suffered." He frowns heavily. A mage succumbing to a demon... "What exactly happens when a mage succumbs to a demon? If they're - possessed? Is that what it's called? Is there no other way of helping them when that happens?"
Anders mentioned being able to disconnect the spirit that had been inside of him, though it resulted in the spirit being killed. Couldn't that work for all cases? Or is there something he's missing? (Yep, there is. Inessa gets the joy of explaining the finer points of possession to Prompto.)
Guilt gnaws at him as she talks about her childhood and how the Templars rescued her. He ran full tilt into this subject without thinking it through, though he had no way of knowing her background. It does, at least, put it more into perspective for him, even if he still doesn't agree with a lot of the practices he's heard about the Circles so far.
"Sort of pictured life in the Circle as something akin to a prison. Which, I guess it still was since you didn't have a choice in being there, but at least you were taken care of. That's something." Even if only in the basic sense. "But yeah, you shouldn't have to be cut off from the world just to learn how to handle your powers." There's a small smile. "Thank you for telling me about that, especially since it wasn't easy." Boy does he know what that's like.
