And if Gladio was waiting for a good moment to intervene, well, this was all definitely it.
First and foremost: "Iggy! Give her space, let her go!"
Even if she was already lunging away, Ignis would have liked to have said that such a directive was unnecessary, but that would be false, because when Liliana started to push herself away, his first instinct was to reach for her and pull her back in what would feel like a terrible mirror of actions taken that morning, which seemed, by now, like it had been ages ago.
But he did move, crawling backward from all of it, and it was a good thing, too, because now Gladio could focus his attention on pulling Stark away from Liliana, and holding Liliana back away from Stark, with a very helpful bellow of "Break it up, you two!"
He was getting this distinct feeling that help had gone right out the door a while ago.
