[For just a moment, Regis wonders if Verstael maybe has started to see the value in helping others just for helping's sake, but as the man continues, it becomes clear he is more interested in the scientific side of everything than that. He should have known. Still, if it helps Ignis in the end, that is really what matters.]

Obviously, his injury occurred after my time, so I'm afraid I can't give you any information on what you may or may not encounter if you attempt to help him, however, please make sure you allow him to decide if he wishes to do this or not. For you, it is science; for him it is a very personal part of himself. Sometimes a loss like this is something the person comes to accept as their new self. Going back, as strange as it may seem to you or me, would actually hurt them more than staying as they are would.

[He's seen it a time or two with solders who have returned from battle and had time to adjust to missing limbs or lack of vision. True, some would jump at the chance to be normal again, but others make their loss part of themselves and grow stronger from the experience. He doesn't know Ignis well enough to guess which way he feels or if he feels something completely different.]
