Opening 3
.
It was now time for Lucius to continue his journey onto the next nation. A nation of mystery to him, considering that he has not met anyone from Natlan in his journey that has spanned a year and a half now. But before he could head to Natlan, he was told by Navia and Furina to wait at Romaritime Harbour.
Paimon: Wow, time flies! Just like that, it's time for us to embark on the next phase of our journey!
Lucius: I don't exactly know why Navia and Furina told us to wait here, we're not really one to expect a big farewell before heading to the next nation.
Paimon: True, true, but a goodbye is still something.
Lucius: (sigh) Yeah.
Paimon: Now, Neuvillette called it "a nation of dragons," but that description doesn't give us much to go off of...
Lucius: We also have never met anyone from Natlan either.
Paimon: Exactly! Even when Inazuma was completely closed-off, we still managed to run into people from there in other nations... Huh, could it be... that there are no humans in Natlan?
Lucius: I think you're exaggerating.

A familiar Kamera shutter makes its sound as Charlotte takes a photo of Paimon's surprise expression and Lucius' deadpanned stare.
Charlotte: Yes, yes! That look of surprise and excitement is perfect! Hold it right there... Now, look at the Kamera, and big smiles on three, ready?
Lucius: Charlotte? What are you doing here? And why the photo shoot?
Charlotte: Well, I heard you two were about to leave for the next part of your journey. After everything you did for Fontaine, The Steambird simply had to follow up on a scoop like that. (sigh) I have a feeling we're going to be short on material once you're gone.
Paimon: Oh, so you knew we were leaving... We don't need a big send-off. That's not really our thing.
Charlotte: Hehe, yeah, that's definitely not your style, but we got to thinking... and, well, a little change never hurt anyone, right?
Lucius: "We"?
Navia: All those obstacles we overcame side by side... Feels like it was just yesterday! Don't be a stranger, now, partner!
Navia calls out as she arrives and stands next to Charlotte with a big smile.
Clorinde: If you encounter any troubles along your journey, you need only let us know, no matter the distance between us.
Clorinde then arrives next, followed by...
Furina: Partings are inevitable, of course, but distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? One thing will never change, though. We'll always have the memories we made together during this time.
Lucius: Ahah... did you two prepare that speech and rehearse beforehand?
Navia: Yep! And good on Clorinde for sticking the delivery!
Clorinde: It was you that kept slipping up.
Lucius: Girls, I... I'm glad that you're here to see us off. We'll see each other again for sure, whether it's at the teapot or when my time in Natlan is done.
