Navia hesitated for a moment.
Myles: "Go now, Miss. This is your only chance to leave. You wouldn't stay out of attachment to us, would you?"
"... Just thinking it's the last time... I can't help but make a little joke first."
"Farewell, Miss."
Sylph added, "Take care!"
[Ningguang: I don't know why, but my eyes are getting a little teary… no wonder this is such a tear-jerking scene.]
[Keqing: Me too…]
[Paimon: I can't stop crying!]
[Jean: Will they really never meet again?]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: Hopefully, no more goodbyes in the future…]
Suddenly, Navia awoke with a start.
Neuvillette: "You're awake. You look unharmed—that's good news."
Navia: "I feel like I had a dream... In it, Myles and Sylph were still alive, protecting me from an insane trial."
Neuvillette: "Are you all right?"
Paimon also comforted her: "Did you have a nightmare because you were too sad? Oh… I really want to hug you…"
Neuvillette explained.
"When I arrived, I saw Miss Navia falling toward the water. Normally—even for an instant—you would have dissolved, but I saw two pure Hydro mimics catch and protect you. It lasted barely a second, but it gave me the chance to reach you."
"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to save you before your consciousness disappeared."
Paimon asked in surprise, "Pure Hydro mimics? People who dissolved became pure Hydro mimics?"
Neuvillette: "Perhaps the ones who held you… were the same people you saw in your dream."
Navia sobbed softly, "I kept saying I didn't need them to protect me… I never imagined… they died, yet could still protect me…"
[Navia (sobbing): If the future cannot be changed… then…]
[Klee: I can't stop crying!]
[Keqing: They… they are true heroes. That is sincere love.]
[Charlotte: I don't know why, but it's raining in Fontaine.]
Neuvillette called Lumine and Paimon aside. "Shall we have a discussion for a moment?"
Paimon looked puzzled. "Why does your expression suddenly look so stiff?"
"I see... You're the type who feels awkward when there's nothing to say, right?"
Neuvillette: "… I just think Miss Navia should have some time alone."
Paimon: "Then just say that! Why make up some random topic?"
[Sigewinne: Lord Neuvillette is so gentle.]
[Furina: I agree with that!]
Lumine recalled the request from the Fortress of Meropide and looked at Neuvillette. "By the way, Sigewinne says hello to you."
Neuvillette: "Sigewinne! I hope everything is going well with her. Is the work in the Fortress of Meropide exhausting?"
Paimon: "Sigewinne is living happily in the Fortress of Meropide! She's an amazing head nurse!"
Neuvillette exhaled in relief. "Good. I've always been concerned, like with myself, that it takes a lot of time to understand the human world."
[Charlotte: Wait a minute… I think I just realized some big news? Neuvillette isn't human?]
[The Knave: Of course Neuvillette can't be human—he's been the Chief Judge for hundreds of years, hasn't he?]
