On the Sky Screen, the Traveler met a younger Columbina at Silvermoon Hall and asked her about Nod-Krai and the moon.

• Columbina told the Traveler she did not know her own name, spoke of wanting a home, and warned him that the Moon could be deceiving.

The Traveler confessed to entering the Frostmoon Scions' secret domain and learned that the Moon Marrow had accepted him, while Nefer suspected the Fatui had taken the relic. Lauma sought Nefer's help recruiting someone to infiltrate the Fatui's Experimental Design Bureau, and Nefer asked Jahoda to assist.

• The Traveler confessed his actions to Lauma, who said the trials had qualified him to approach the Moon Marrow and that the relic had accepted him.
• Nefer noted that the Fatui had withdrawn their search for the Moon Marrow, raising the possibility that they already had it and that Lumine might have worked with them.

Lauma shared how she had been raised as the Frostmoon's envoy, prompting Bo Saixi to reflect on her own life and consider leaving Sea God Island through academic exchanges.

• Lauma revealed that her bloodline gave her an unusual sensitivity to moonlight and the Lunar Distance Force.

Lauma told the Traveler that she had long known Teyvat’s moon was false and hid her doubts from the Frostmoon Scions. After Gapui brought her worsening-ill Galina, Lauma treated the child with medicine mixed with her own blood and asked the Traveler and Paimon to keep it secret.

• Lauma explained that her heightened senses let her feel the real moon beyond the False Sky, but she concealed her discovery from her people.
• The Traveler confirmed that Teyvat’s visible moon was false, relieving Lauma, who then said she hoped to change the Frostmoon Scions when the time was right.

Vermina’s doubts raised suspicions that she had stolen the sacred relic, while the Traveler and Paimon brought food to Columbina and found that she saw their meal as a trade for answers.

• Lauma worried that the Frostmoon Scions would reject the truth, and the Traveler and Paimon promised to help her.
• Vermina questioned whether Lauma’s efforts were worth it, then left; Canon and Aria suspected she had stolen the sacred relic.
• The Traveler and Paimon arrived at Silvermoon Hall with food for Columbina, who initially mistook Paimon for a Moon Spirit.
• Columbina treated the food as an offering in exchange for answers, and the narrator wished they could comfort her.

• The Traveler asked Columbina about the fake Moon and the melody she kept humming, and she described the song as the only memory from her birth.
• Columbina explained that the Frostmoon Scions had made her their god and demanded power and miracles until she realized their faith had never made them her home.
• Columbina suffered as the flowers around her turned gray, and Canon said Teyvat's rejection might soon make her disappear because her connection to the Moon had been severed.
• The Traveler and Paimon discovered that Columbina was starving, and she said she was recovering her strength after fulfilling her promise to the Tsaritsa.
• Columbina restored the flowers' blue color and explained that she had agreed with Lauma to stay hidden; Paimon gave her egg rolls, which she enjoyed.

Columbina told the Traveler that she wanted to return to the moon, while the Angel God and Qian Daoliu reflected on what it meant to lose one's home and on Spirit Hall's neglect of the Angel God. At the Fatui's Experimental Design Bureau, Lauma, the Traveler, and Paimon met Jahoda, who admitted she had run out of an important tool and proposed abandoning the mission.

• The Traveler told Jahoda not to solve problems by running away from them.

Jahoda joined Lauma, the Traveler, and Paimon in reaching the hidden chamber beneath the Experimental Design Bureau, where Lauma discovered Vermina had joined the Fatui and stolen the Moon Marrow.

• Jahoda revealed her plan, helped the group evade guards and activate mechanisms, and insisted on continuing even after Lauma said her commission was over.
• Lauma and the others found the hidden underwater chamber and realized the Fatui had concealed the Ancient Moon Remains beneath the water.

• Vermina admitted she had accepted a mission from a Fatui Harbinger, taken the Moon Marrow while the Traveler hesitated, and joined the Fatui.
• Vermina told Lauma she had joined because she could no longer stand living a lie, and questioned whether their faith and the Frostmoon Scions' traditions were worth preserving.

Lauma revealed to Vermina that the Moon was false and resolved to tell the Frostmoon Scions the truth, while Vermina cut off her own horns and revealed that The Puppet held their sacred relic. At Starfell Beach, Lauma and the others confronted The Puppet, but the Wild Hunt suddenly overran the beach.

• Lauma admitted to Vermina that she had hidden the truth that the Moon was false and said she cared too much about the Frostmoon Scions to keep deceiving them.
• Vermina cut off both her horns to sever her ties with the Frostmoon Scions, then told Lauma that The Puppet had the Moon Marrow at Starfell Beach.
• The Traveler, Lauma, Paimon, and the others arrived at Starfell Beach, where The Puppet mocked them and refused to hand over the relic.
• As The Puppet ordered her subordinates to attack, the Wild Hunt suddenly overran Starfell Beach.

The Traveler and his companions fought the Wild Hunt on Starfell Beach, where an Abyssal mimic of Lumine tried to deceive him and Lauma drove the Hunt away. After the mist cleared, the Puppet gave Lauma the Moon Marrow, and the Three Moon Sisters discussed who had the right to claim it.

• Jahoda used the Lamp-Bearer's manual to guide the Traveler to a device that sealed the Wild Hunt, but the device shattered and unleashed an even stronger force.
• The Traveler searched the mist and recognized that the Lumine who called to him was an Abyssal mimic, then defeated it.

• Canon asked Aria how she felt about her relic being called cursed, and Aria said she felt bad seeing people fight over the Moon Marrow.

Lauma returned to the Secret Archive with the Moon Marrow and decided to tell the Frostmoon Scions the truth that night. With no safe place to store the relic, the Traveler took it into his body, and Lauma could no longer sense it inside him.

• Lauma taught the Traveler how to take in the Moon Marrow, and he did so without discomfort.

Lauma revealed the truth about the False Sky and the Frostmoon Scions’ faith, prompting mixed reactions and departures from the group. After Lauma blessed the Traveler, the Three Moon Sisters considered making Douluo Continent’s unclaimed moon their new home.

• Nefer found medicine for Lauma, and Lauma and the Traveler discussed the Wild Hunt’s appearances and its pursuit of the Moon Marrow.
• Lauma told the Frostmoon Scions about the False Sky, the false moon, and the departed gods, urging them to choose their own path.
• Sea Horse, Sea Spear, and Sea Dragon Douluo debated how the Frostmoon Scions might respond to the truth, and several guardians shared their views.
• Some Frostmoon Scions left while others thanked Lauma or held on to their old beliefs; Lauma said change needed time and gave the Traveler a new blessing.
• The Three Moon Sisters asked about settling on Douluo Planet’s moon, and the Life God King said it was unclaimed, though the sisters decided not to insist for now.

Gu Yuena reclaimed the Dragon God's power and lifted the curse preventing soul beasts from becoming gods. On Hiisi Island, Columbina regained some strength through the Moon Marrow and revealed its connection to the Eternal Moon Goddess Aria, while the Traveler wondered whether the Frost Moon's Moon Marrow was inside her.

• Gu Yuena transformed with a nine-colored halo, thanked Ouyang Kong and his companions, and broke the curse that barred soul beasts from godhood.
