M/n's eyes twitched harder than they ever had in its life! What made his eyes twitch? An entire four-page news coverage of the tea party including pictures of him being trapped and rescued by Neuvillette.
"So someone was there that entire time!? Ooooh noooo!!! THEY EVEN TOOK PICTURES OF WHEN I WAS IN HIS LAP!!!"M/n screams while kicking his feet out of embarrassment and anger! He was livid because someone saw that he was trapped and did nothing to help but also he was embarrassed by the amount of pictures taken, mainly the one where he had his arms wrapped around Neuvillette.
"Ugh!! I can't believe this!"The kittens mewl and meow at their owner in an attempt to get M/n's attention.

After a few seconds, M/n sits up and looks over his bed at his darling cats.
"Yes, little ones?"They continue to meow but this time they dash towards the door.
"Alright, I get it."M/n slips his slippers on and follows after his favorite beings in the world, at first he has no idea where they are taking him but he soon finds himself in an unfamiliar part of the garden where a giant and deep pond is. It was surrounded by Romaritime flowers.

M/n was confused but in awe, how come he never run across this place until now? His unvoiced question is quickly answered when Neuvillette breaks to the surface of the pond, the triplets rush over to the edge and meow happily.
"Ah! Hello M/n, did the three lead you here?"

"Yeah, you must come here a lot with them or they followed you here a few times. I'm just happy they like you so much, uh nice wetsuit by the way."M/n kneels behind his kittens at the edge of the pond. He never expected this but it was enough to take his mind off the article for a moment.
"I'm assuming that you saw the article?"

"Yes, I can't believe people are so nosy about others' lives that they would stalk around until intimate moments like that happen."

"That's the people of Fontaine for you. They turn everything into a spectacle, especially private matters. I never asked you about this but why did you stop diving?"Neuvillette asked as he pulled himself from the pond to sit on the edge.
"I'm not sure if you remember this or not but my first time making headlines was during an incident that happened during a competition, the annual Torrential Turbulent Charge races.
A natural high-pressure current was blocked without our knowledge and due to the blockage it caused another point to burst and it just so happened that I was above it. It knocked me straight out of the turbulent and into a jagged rock, nearly severed my shoulder from the rest of my body."M/n moves his shirt enough for Neuvillette to see the scar in a diagonal line that was from his shoulder to the middle of his chest.
"I remember reading that, many assumed it was a hit on your life, and the man responsible for mapping out the route neglected to mention this–"

"Kline did nothing wrong!"M/n yelled hearing what Neuvillette said, for years the male always tried to prove the innocence of a dear friend but it was all for nothing.
"Our so-called Archon got so full of herself and falsely accused him! She turned the public against him and for what!? Nothing at all, it was a natural occurrence due to pressure buildup! Hell, even Wriothesley knows this and tried to help me appeal the case but nothing happens when we try...All we can do is visit his tombstone..."Neuvillette's eyes widened from the reveal. He didn't know that the man–That Kline was now dead.
"I know it's such a huge taboo to disagree with that immature woman but...She was wrong. Treating Justice as a show for her entertainment."

"I...I'm sorry you lost your friend because of Furina."

"It's not your fault, at the end of the day, you were doing your job...At one point I was angry with you but it melted away because It was her the entire time."Neuvillette wasn't sure what to do at first so he hugged M/n and rubbed his back in an attempt to soothe him.
"Thank you Neuvillette."

"It's the best I could do, I'm sorry that any of this happened to you, to Wriothesley, and Monsieur Kline."
