After reading the contents of the script, some remained silent, some wept bitterly, and some gnashed their teeth in anger... all expressing their emotions.
"Audrey... even when facing death, she was still thinking of us..."
"That's right... she was always so gentle, never abandoning her gentleness even in the face of death."
"Just as Lady Furina said, she was already our hero..."
"Woo... I miss Group leader..."
"Damn beast, if this guy wasn't locked up in Meropide, I'd kill him with my own hands!"
Listening to these voices, each expressing different emotions, Yuto closed his eyes, let out a soft sigh, and didn't say much.
People need to vent their feelings, whether they are positive or negative emotions, they all need to be released.
If suppressed for too long... things will become very bad.
Of course, Yuto also had emotions he needed to vent.
As he watched these people in front of him vent their emotions, his heart was equally unquiet.
"After taking Furina home, I'll go find Neuvillette... At least I need to test it to see if it's feasible."
"Let Audrey stay with them for as long as possible, at least that way they can feel better."
"At least this way... those who feel guilt can temporarily put their guilt aside."
Thinking of this, Yuto nodded slightly, then slowly closed his eyes, waiting for them to finish venting their emotions.
Audrey was incredibly important in the hearts of the troupe members; she was not only the protagonist on stage but also the hero in their lives.
After reading the words she left in her final moments, everyone in the troupe remained restless for a long time, even Claude, who prided himself on his emotional stability, began to withdraw.
He also couldn't accept why such a kind person would be targeted as an experimental subject because of her 'kindness'?
What's wrong with kindness?
Thinking of this, Claude sighed softly, deciding to commemorate this folk artist, highly praised by Furina, in his own way.
"If Fontaine Opera can truly be promoted overseas... if I can truly gain a voice in the Fontaine Opera industry..."
"I will engrave her words on a stone tablet."
"Although the body has perished, the spirit she left behind can be passed down forever."
Thinking of this, Claude subtly raised his head, looked at the emotional troupe members, pursed his lips, and then smiled gently.
He made up his mind.
He wanted to lead this troupe across Teyvat, so that everyone could know and understand Miss Aurett's ideals.
...
As time passed, those who were initially emotional gradually quieted down.
After a brief silence, they began to softly discuss the ending of The Daughter of Water.
And this time, there was no argument, only mutual correction and a mixture of emotions.
Finally... everyone in the troupe reached a consensus on the ending.
"She deserves a hero's curtain call, even if it's to tell the audience what she did in this way... it's meaningful."
Polo's voice trembled slightly, seemingly excited by the decision he made, or perhaps because the aftershocks of earlier emotions had not completely dissipated.
But... that didn't really matter.
What mattered was that he no longer had to argue with Weil Mang.
Hearing Polo's words, Lauvik, who was standing beside Dirfi and supporting her, also gently nodded in agreement.
"Even in her last moments, she didn't forget to leave important clues."
"She hoped her actions could protect more people, even if... it meant sacrificing herself."
Dirfi added slightly, then turned her gaze to Weil Mang, asking softly and gently:
"What about you? Can you still perform? Can you carry Group leader's expectations and teachings... and go further on this path?"
Although Dirfi already had the answer in her heart, it was still necessary to ask the person involved about such matters.
—Although the possibility of misunderstanding was less than one percent, it was not zero.
Weil Mang nodded gently, then said quite firmly:
"I will infuse my apologies into the performance, dedicating the best stage to her."
With that, he turned his gaze to Polo, took a deep breath, and said quite sincerely:
"I don't expect you to forgive me, because I truly made a mistake; even if my original intention was good... the outcome was indeed irreversible;"
"And my emotions are not important, because my being able to stand here is all thanks to Group leader Audrey's gift, her tolerance towards me."
"I will do everything in my power to pave the way for the upcoming performances and future performances, making Group leader Audrey's curtain call even grander, and ensuring her name is remembered by the world."
Hearing this, Dirfi smiled and nodded, then turned her gaze to Polo.
"What about you, Polo? Can you continue to perform? I mean... perform with us until Group leader Audrey's name is known throughout Teyvat?"
Polo nodded, then said:
"Whether it's to repay Audrey's kindness to me, or to give my emotions an outlet, I should do this."
Looking at the gradually unified group, a rather relieved smile appeared on Furina's small face.
"It seems everyone has reached a consensus~"
"I have a premonition that whether it's The Prophecy you'll be performing in the future, or The Daughter of Water that you'll be staging in a few days, both will become unprecedentedly brilliant Fontaine Operas in the history of Fontaine Opera."
Hearing this, Paimon tilted her head and said somewhat suspiciously:
"You haven't even seen them perform, is it really okay to speak so confidently?"
Furina gently shook her small head, her cowlick swaying along, as if full of confidence.
"Hmph, don't underestimate my five hundred years of experience, okay? I've watched so many musicals and Fontaine Operas and come to a general conclusion."
"To move the audience with song and story, one must immerse oneself in the role and infuse the most abundant emotions."
"What is most wonderful in this world, if not the love, hate, and passions of humanity?"
"Regarding The Daughter of Water... I believe no one will want to perform this play better than them."
"As for The Prophecy..."
Furina tilted her head slightly, pulled Yuto, who was pondering how to get Furina to sleep peacefully so he could go find Neuvillette to do something important, and said:
"As the eyewitnesses to the entire script, Yuto and I have the most abundant emotions regarding those events."
"With us to guide, will there still be fear of emotional problems?"
