• Ellin approached Furina with an umbrella and used the Soul-Cleansing Bell to soothe her.
• Furina met Ellin, then recognized her as the new Heavenly Principles and scrambled away in fear.

After Navia thanked Ellin for saving the town and her loved ones from primordial sea water, Furina began to wonder whether Ellin might truly be trying to prevent Fontaine’s prophecy.

• Furina recoiled from Ellin, fearing the Heavenly Principles, and nearly reached a puddle of primordial sea water.
• Ellin told Furina she knew about her past, thoughts, and mission, leaving Furina shaken and wary.
• Navia arrived and thanked Ellin for saving Poisson’s residents, including Melus and Silver, from the flood.
• Ellin urged Navia to move everyone to higher ground, and Navia left to help with the rescue efforts.
• After hearing Navia describe Ellin’s actions, Furina’s wariness faded as she considered that Ellin might oppose the prophecy.
