"What is this?"
"Look at the sky!"
"The foam - it's surrounding us!"
In Ordella, where the newly resurrected still reel from their return to life, a young woman reaches out toward the foam as it encases them, only to find it did not burn. Clancy's cleansing power foam does not purge - it protects.
"This is the will of the gods!" The woman shouts to those around her. "A blessing of the great King Crab!"
And at the now-ruined castle, Maria stands frozen, golden eyes wide as she watches the impossible unfold.
"This wasn't just an attack," she murmurs. "It was a gift. Divine protection…"
"Oh, Clancy," she whispers, an unfamiliar emotion tightening in her chest. "You foolish, stupid, wonderful crab."
From Maria, a higher compliment could never be received.
