In Fontaine, a country that believes in drama and justice, the water goddess Funina has ruled for five hundred years. With her exaggerated performances, impassioned speeches and perfect image, she became the spiritual pillar of the people of Fontaine. But no one knows what kind of secrets and pain are hidden behind this seemingly omnipotent god.
Funina is not a real water goddess, she is just an actor carefully selected by Fukalos, who has spent five hundred years performing the role of the water goddess. She must maintain a perfect image at all times without any weakness or wavering, because the fate of the entire Fontaine is tied to her performance.
As the prophecy approaches, Fontaine's groundwater begins to experience abnormalities, and seawater gradually penetrates into every corner of the city. Funina is under tremendous pressure alone, not only to maintain the surface calm, but also to deal with the emerging crises secretly. The appearance of Judge Navilette caused cracks in her disguise.
In the opera house's monologue, Fonina finally took off her disguise and showed her true self. Her vulnerability, her fear, her loneliness were all exposed in that moment. And Villette's words "I'm here" made her frozen heart begin to melt.
This is a story about faith and lies, disguise and truth, loneliness and companionship. On the stage of fate, everyone is playing their own role, and Funina's performance is about to come to its final curtain call.
