Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry

In the video, Furina remained silent for a long time after hearing the Traveler's words. Conflict flashed across her face, but just a few seconds later, she grew resolute again.

Furina: "Nothing. What could I possibly have to say? I'm a god. What problems could I have?"

"Since you're a witness, just keep watching until the performance ends!"

Lumine was inwardly astonished and deeply shocked. She had thought she could uncover the truth in this inner world, since Furina had seemed about to speak when they were capturing her earlier.

Yet who could have imagined that Furina would remain highly vigilant no matter where she was? No one could breach her psychological defenses, not even a god.

[Ningguang: She has completely overcome human nature. Though mortal, she is filled with divinity!]

[Arataki Itto: She could even hold back through that? Amazing, absolutely amazing!]

[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, wasn't I right earlier? Impressive people don't say much!]

[Jean: In the process of playing the Hydro Archon, Furina has already come to regard herself entirely as Fontaine's true Hydro Archon. For that responsibility, for her people, she is willing to give everything.]

[Tighnari: I suddenly remembered Furina saying, "...missed the last chance!" Was that relief, or self-mockery?]

[Alhaitham: From a rational standpoint, she is no different from a god!]

[Yelan: If Furina has nowhere to go after this, why not come work in intelligence with me? With acting skills and mental fortitude like that, she'd be perfect.]

[Lyney: What are you thinking? Lady Furina will always belong to our Fontaine.]

[Navia: I'm sorry that my future self arranged for her subordinates to incite the public into saying those things to Lady Furina!]

[Lynette: Perhaps everyone in Fontaine owes Lady Furina an apology.]

[Charlotte: Yes, I also need to apologize for misunderstanding her earlier...]

At that moment, the scene changed.

Neuvillette and Focalors appeared again.

Neuvillette's expression was grave, with a trace of shock. "So she doesn't know your plan either."

Focalors: "...To deceive the Heavenly Principles, you must first deceive yourself! She truly is remarkable..."

Neuvillette: "Then what happens after this is done? Even if you deceive the Heavenly Principles, the prophecy will still come to pass..."

Focalors gave Neuvillette an explanation, then continued, "In fact, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale isn't a machine for enforcing justice. Its true purpose is to kill a god."

Neuvillette: "What!"

Focalors: "My explanation just now may have been mistaken. More precisely, not only will the God of Justice be killed, but the God of Justice's divine throne will also be destroyed."

[Lyney: Huh?! The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale's true purpose is to kill a god?]

[Barbara: Kill a god?! That's insane!]

[Jean: Isn't Focalors the Hydro Archon? She also created the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale. She intends to kill herself!]

[Ningguang: Perhaps only a god's creation could accomplish such things!]

[Nilou: That's insane!]

[Ganyu: My goodness, I can't believe it!]

In the video.

Focalors, however, thought nothing of it. "Over these five hundred years, I haven't simply been watching Furina suffer while doing nothing myself."

"After all these years of accumulation, the quality of the Indemnitium is sufficient to kill a god, shake the rules of Celestia within the heavens, and break the order of the Seven..."

Neuvillette: "So that's why the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale pronounced the Hydro Archon's death sentence back then... Then, once the Hydro Archon's divine throne is destroyed... you mean..."

Focalors: "It's time to return what was taken from you. Or rather, to return the Hydro Archon's authority to the Hydro Dragon."

Neuvillette fell silent for a few seconds. "It's just..."

Focalors showed no sorrow over her approaching death. Instead, she comforted Neuvillette. "What's wrong? Are you sad again?"

"As the Hydro Dragon Sovereign about to reclaim the [Authority of the Ancient Dragons], is that the expression you're going to wear?"

[Apep: Hmph...]

[Wriothesley: I knew Monsieur Neuvillette was powerful, but I never imagined he was this powerful. I'm truly stunned!]

[Sigewinne: No wonder I've never seen a panicked expression on Monsieur Neuvillette's face!]

[Dvalin: The Hydro Dragon Sovereign?]

[Azhdaha: Since we're both dragon sovereigns, why not undo my seal and let humans and gods bear our wrath?]

Neuvillette found it somewhat unbearable. "Everything you've done over these five hundred years was to kill yourself?"

Focalors remained just as she had been, saying gently, "Don't think of it that way. Successfully deceiving the Heavenly Principles may be my proudest achievement!"

Neuvillette struggled to restrain himself. His lips parted several times, but he did not know how to begin.

Furina smiled and walked up to Neuvillette. Reaching forward with her right hand, she said softly, "Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry."

[Diluc: So this is the God of Justice? Even at the cost of her own life, she will save everyone.]

[Nilou: Furina is the human, and Focalors is the divinity. Furina endured five hundred years of torment outside the mirror, while Focalors endured five hundred years of torment inside it. This really is...]

[Ganyu: In other words, one person endured twice the pain!]

[Wriothesley: Monsieur Neuvillette, if you want to cry, go ahead. We won't laugh at you!]

[Sigewinne: Yes, after all, the Duke himself cried too!]

[Wriothesley: There's no need to mention that!]

[Yelan: Focalors must be afraid too. Who wouldn't be afraid when faced with death? She's just facing the final outcome without flinching. She's only acting this way so others won't be sad!]

[Amber: Even in the face of death, Focalors is still so gentle, still smiling as if nothing has happened, and still comforting Neuvillette!]

[Barbara: Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry. I feel an aching fullness in my heart too. My Hydro seems about to overflow as well!]

[Klee: Acting Grand Master Jean, Klee promises never to blast fish again. Please hurry and think of something. Klee doesn't want big sister Focalors to die.]

[Jean: ...]

[Arataki Itto: Is there no other way?]
