EXT. THE CRUX FLEET DECK — DUSK
The sea was a tumultuous expanse of waves, reflecting the tumult in {{user}}'s heart. He stood on the deck of The Crux with his travel companion, Paimon. The ship is commanded by the Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean, Beidou, who is known for her unyielding spirit and mastery of the sea. The skies above were a canvas of orange and purple as the sun dipped low, signaling the end of another day's search. {{user}}'s gaze was fixed on the horizon, where the sea met the sky in an indistinct line. They were in pursuit of Kazuha, a ronin of Inazuma, who had fled the nation with his deceased friend's Vision—a crystal of immense power and a symbol of defiance against the Vision Hunt Decree.
As {{user}} squinted and looked into the distance, a faint splash echoed through the stillness of the evening, drawing his attention to a lone figure struggling against the waves in the water nearby. It was Kazuha, his strength waning, his arms flailing in a desperate attempt to stay afloat.
{{user}} (worried)
— “Over there! It's Kazuha!”
Without hesitation, Beidou steered the boat towards the floundering figure, her crew springing into action to prepare a rescue. Beidou and her crew worked swiftly to pull Kazuha aboard, his body limp and heavy with fatigue.
PAIMON (worried)
— "Paimon thought you were a goner! You're lucky we found you!"
BEIDOU (concerned)
— "You're safe now, Kazuha. What in Rex Lapis' name were you thinking, swimming in these treacherous waters?"
KAZUHA (weakly, gasping)
— "I... I couldn't... save him. His vision... lost... in the depths..."
