In the video, Myles stood firm and raised his voice in rebuttal.
"This is the justice you speak of? What a joke. You're only jealous that the young lady still has the chance to exist as a true individual. Have you all forgotten how desperately you once longed to be independent, free beings?"
From the judge's bench, the entire gallery pointed accusingly at Navia.
"Do you dare defy the justice that belongs to all of us?"
Sylph answered sharply:
"Your so-called justice is fundamentally wrong—it shouldn't even exist."
Myles stepped forward. "We have our own justice. Sylph and I will protect the young lady."
"This... is how we uphold what we believe in."
[Arataki Itto: Well said! That's what real justice looks like!]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss… you really ruined such an emotional moment.]
[Arataki Itto: They're heroes! I gotta visit Fontaine someday and meet them!]
[Ningguang: They dissolved to save the people of Poisson, and broke free from the collective consciousness to protect their lady. They may lack divine strength, but they are true heroes.]
[The Knave: The Hydro Archon still hasn't appeared. I'm curious—what is the god protecting Fontaine doing all this time?]
[Furina: I—I was obviously busy with something extremely important! Knave, don't question me so casually!]
Navia clutched her head in pain.
"Sylph… I feel awful… My mind's a mess… there are stars flashing in front of my eyes…"
Then, her expression changed—she remembered.
Desley, Rielvian... even Myles and Sylph themselves—
They were all dead.
Sylph leaned closer. "Miss, don't be afraid. And don't admit guilt. We'll protect you until the very end."
But the judges below refused to relent.
Desley shouted:
"Ridiculous! Why shouldn't she be judged? In this land of justice, the majority is absolute justice. We are the collective will!"
Yolenne added sharply:
"Don't let them escape! Today, Navia must stay!"
Rielvian glared at Myles and Sylph.
"You two insist on resisting our justice? You dare turn your back on the will of all?"
One after another, Desley, Rielvian, and others dissolved — turning into pure Hydro mimics.
They merged, layered upon one another, forming a terrifying collective.
Speaking as one:
"Jealous? How absurd... Navia is not an independent being."
"Why would we envy her? She belongs with us... Miss Navia..."
[Klee covered her eyes: "So scary… Albedo, hug me!"]
[Albedo hugged her gently: Don't worry. If a Hydro mimic comes close, just throw a bomb. Nothing to fear.]
Suddenly—
"Silence!"
Neuvillette appeared at the tribunal.
His scepter struck the floor, unleashing a powerful surge of Hydro that washed across the hall.
Navia gasped.
"Mr. Neuvillette!"
Neuvillete's voice was calm yet absolute:
"The court forbids disorder. Everything you have said is nothing but a farce—unworthy of legal consideration."
"Today's session ends here. No objections will be accepted."
[Sigewinne: Lord Neuvillette is so handsome! So reliable!]
[Ningguang: Only those dissolved in the water can appear here… Does that mean Neuvillette dissolved as well?]
[Furina: His authority is far beyond what you think. Something like that wouldn't happen to him!]
[The Knave: Unless Neuvillette is the true Hydro Archon… and you, Furina, are just an ordinary human.]
[Neuvillette: My apologies, Knave. I am not Fontaine's Archon. Furina is.]
[Arataki Itto: Fontaine relationships are so confusing!]
In the video, Neuvillette turned toward Navia.
"While there is still time... Miss Navia, come with me. We must leave this place."
