[ Although Neuvillette can't see the entirety of Poisson from where he's standing near the entrance, what he does see is heart-wrenching—homes have been destroyed and large pieces of metal debris litter the streets. The townspeople look absolutely miserable but push through their grief for the sake of helping the injured to the shelters set up outside by the House of Hearth. ]
When you can, try to get some rest. [ He says, quietly. ] The Palais will send aid to the residents of Poisson as soon as possible.
[ And with that, the two of them part ways. The next day, a bag containing 25 million Mora appears on Spina di Rosula's doorstep with a note that reads "from an anonymous benefactor." A small contribution to help provide the residents with food and medical supplies until official aid comes.
Then, a lot of things happen in the span of less than two weeks. Furina being brought to trial, accused of being a fraud. A giant narwhal, emerging in the middle of said trial. Childe appearing in the pursuit of said narwhal. Focalors revealing her plan to him; a centuries-long plot to technically fulfill the prophecy while exploiting loopholes to ensure her people would be saved—and then the sword drops and the Seven permanently become the Six. No one is dissolved when the prophesized flood comes, and no one drowns either as Neuvillette temporarily grants everyone the ability to breathe underwater like Vision holders do.
Time passes. It's probably going to take years before everything is fully rebuilt, but reconstruction is going as smoothly as it possibly can and for most people, life has started to return to what can almost be described as normal.
Today is the day of the memorial service for those who lost their lives in the tragedy of Poisson. Although their dissolved bodies can never be recovered and laid to rest, Neuvillette understands the importance of a memorial as a symbolic event to give the people some closure to their grief. A headstone for each individual victim has been installed, with Melus and Silvers having theirs next to Callas' grave.
The service is quiet, but well-attended. Neuvillette does his best to keep the dark clouds from forming overhead; rain might be appropriate for the occasion, but he doesn't want to leave everyone soaked and chilled to the bone on top of grieving. Every once in a while, he glances at Navia with a touch of concern to his gaze. How is he holding up, after everything?
Eventually, the service comes to a close and the crowd begins to disperse—and soon, the Iudex and Navia are the only people remaining. ]
