Paimon: "Poisson's...!"
Navia: "Let me explain the situation in Poisson. Earlier, we heard a tremendous boom. At first, everyone thought something had exploded in the sewers. Soon after, water started spreading everywhere."
"The water carried a strange hue, faintly like the Primordial Sea. Most people didn't realize the danger of the seawater. Those standing by the roads, wading through it, or caught unprepared disappeared into the water."
"Those who realized what was happening began fleeing, desperately seeking higher ground. In the chaos, some were injured in the stampede, others fell from heights..."
"Although the Spina di Rosula mobilized rescue efforts at full speed, there were still casualties across the town. Fortunately, after some time, the water began to recede, and the panic didn't last too long."
"This surge contained traces of the Primordial Sea's essence, so the remaining floodwaters in Poisson are still dangerous. For safety, I instructed everyone there to evacuate as quickly as possible."
"No one knows if this could happen again. All we can do is help the residents evacuate as best as we can. The headcount isn't finished yet, but the results will be ready soon."
[Ganyu: "The flooding in Fontaine is heartbreaking… We should prepare relief supplies to help them! (bows head)"]
[Xiangling: "Absolutely! Let's treat our guests from Fontaine to some Liyue delicacies—smoked pork and steamed buns!"]
[Ningguang: "It's commendable for one nation to support another. However, the footage shows events in the future, and we don't know exactly when. Preparing food now may render it useless when the disaster occurs."]
[Arataki Itto: "Hahaha! Ningguang's right. Definitely not the time to prepare early. (puffs chest)"]
[Kuki Shinobu: "I wonder who was so eager to prepare supplies just now?"]
Paimon's eyes welled up, on the verge of tears:
"It's so scary! I hate not knowing when something like this might happen... sob sob..."
Navia: "It really is terrifying. I wish everything that happened was just a dream."
Lumine noticed something was off:
"Wait, where are Myles and Sylph?"
Before Navia could explain, other Spina di Rosula members called her away.
[Navia: "Myles and Sylph… did something happen to them in the future?"]
[Ganyu: "Myles and Sylph… who are they?"]
[Navia: "Myles and Sylph are my bodyguards. After my father left me, they raised me and took care of me. They're the closest people to me."]
[Klee: "Ah, I get it! Like Albedo and Jean! Though Jean is really strict!"]
[Jean: (sternly) "In the confinement cell, you must reflect properly."]
[Zhongli: (quietly to himself) "Closest to her… yet so adrift in life…"]
Navia moved throughout Poisson, coordinating with many people and arranging everything logically, but her expression remained heavy.
Navia: "Alright, the basic headcount and rescue work is mostly done. New reinforcements have arrived, so I can finally focus on some personal matters."
"Of course, I can't let my guard down. The Spina di Rosula will continue managing the town and assisting the helpers."
"Traveler, Paimon, would you accompany me to my father's grave?"
Lumine nodded.
[Navia: "Seeing this place… it just hurts so much…"]
Poisson's graveyard was empty.
Navia: "So few people…"
Paimon: "Given the time and the state of Poisson, I guess no one would come to pay their respects."
Navia: "Yes… all the survivors are exhausted. Even if they want to say a few words to those who have passed, they just don't have the strength."
Lumine shook her head gently:
"Navia, you don't have to hold back anymore."
Tears immediately streamed down Navia's face uncontrollably.
