[Leave it to Prompto, to take a matter that Ignis has turned over and over in his head a hundred thousand times, and capture it from a new angle that he has yet to consider. Leave it to Prompto and his photographer's eye, to frame it in such a way that he sees something now that he hadn't seen before, and is left to wonder what to make of it.
Could it be there was a reason that he was the one told, above and beyond the fact that he was simply the one there? Ravus had gone on ahead, he hadn't thought much of it other than that he was the only other one present, but — Umbra had always had a knack for finding Noct wherever he went, regardless of what it took to get there.
Had Pryna really been there the whole time, waiting for someone to show her vision to? Or had she explicitly sought him out, and would've no matter where he'd been at the time...?]

[It's not hard to guess what that is, with a setup like that, but he's got to follow through and say it anyway.]
Prompto, I'm not telling you this out of an expectation for answers, or even to change it. I'm telling you because...because Noct knows, now, and because I think you have the right not to be the one left out of knowing.
