Furina is dealing with the aftermath of the trauma that unfolded in her five hundred years of living as an Archon. The prophecy and the flood have left her with an overwhelming fear of water. She spends her days lying in her bed, staying in the safety of her apartment. She doesn't see anyone, not in this new mortal life of hers. Until Monsieur Neuvillette appears on her doorstep one rainy day, offering to take her out for her favourite cake. It is during this outing, where an assassination attempt on Furina's life is uncovered. Her Vision, granted to her not by the heavenly principles, but by Neuvillette himself, is making her a target. Both Furina and Neuvillette find themselves having to make sacrifices for the greater good of those around them. Victory comes at a cost, Furina knows that by heart. Although she may not be acting as the hydro archon anymore, deep down, she is a woman who will do anything to protect her people. No matter the price, or the sacrifice she must make. Neuvillette will do absolutely anything to keep her alive. To keep her Vision, to keep her humanity. He will do anything to help her heal from the five hundred years of acting under a blinding spotlight. Both of them will do whatever it takes. Rather than fooling the divine, this time, Furina must fool those who are doing everything they can to end her new life. Neuvillette just wants to make sure that he is there to stop her from going too far, from sacrificing too much, before it is too late. || a furina and neuvillette love story.

"The people will all be dissolved into the waters. And only the Hydro Archon will remain, weeping on her throne." Which ending would have been better?
