When he woke up, he found himself lying in a calm body of water and all he could see was darkness, with only glimmers of blue light providing dim illumination. Sitting up and looking around, Neuvillette was all alone with his mind and body having a strange feeling, and he thought, 'What is this place? It feels familiar, but at the same time, strange."
He looked as his right hand, which was holding some water, he closed his eyes as his thoughts continued, 'The emotions in this water... I can sense all of it, and yet... what are all these faces I'm seeing? They all seemed... unfamiliar to me.'
The Iudex then hear a voice, a soft and beautiful voice calling to him, "Neuvillette~~, Neuvillette~~"
The voice was familiar to the dragon in human form, leading him to get on his feet and cane, and followed it into the dimly lit plane. As he walked, he created glowing ripples with each step, and for what seemed like an endless journey, Neuvillette saw her.
The silhouette of a short fair-skinned lady standing with her back facing him, her whitish-blue hair was short in a bell shape with two longer stands extending to her waist and an antenna curling up from the top right. And in terms of wear, she sported a white dress with puffy long sleeves and gold accents, that fades to a dark shade of blue with starry details towards the hem and ends of her sleeves. She was also barefoot, and wears a gold ankle cuff with a blue jewel on her right ankle.
The individual turned around to face the Chief Justice, revealing her smile and heterochromatic blue eyes, one light and one dark. He said, "Focalors? I don't understand, shouldn't you be-"
"Dead?" the former Hydro Archon replied, "Yes, I am, but parts of my essence will continue to exist in the form of the power returned to you."
"So does that mean, you also know everything that still goes on in the world?" Neuvillette asked.
"I do, to a level, through your eyes," she answered, "And I must say, Furina's performance in the opera was such a spectacle, I almost cried while watching it. But I am rather surprised, it seemed rather out of character for you to grant her a vision."
He sighed and sat down, said "It just felt like the right thing to do, after spending five centuries playing her part in your plan, and keeping the prophecy from happening all by herself, she has most definitely earned it."
Focalors hummed while nodding, said "That I have no objections towards."
In the medical bay, medics were taking care of the severely injured miners as the airship flew steadily towards Atlas City. In the bed by the window, laid the unconscious man with Dr. Holtz, the chief medical officer, monitoring his condition, while Winter and Harriet observed his status from outside.
"What do you think about this man?" the dark-skinned specialist discussed with her colleague, having this question at the back of her mind when they were busy hurrying back to the airship.
