[Poseidon reaches reflexively for Megami's hand- realizing in that moment that they can hold hands now- to help him down into the water.]
Knowing him and the others, they will probably be wanting to see you even more after all of this...I will have to dissuade them somehow until you are well again.
[He almost doesn't, to be honest. But once Megami is in the water fully, he pulls his hand away (after giving him one last little squeeze) and starts to slowly unfold his legs from beneath himself.]
I will bring them soon, I promise. And even sooner still, I will free you from this island and bring you home to us, forever.
[...but as he's starting to get up, he pauses.]
Oh, and...if you happen to spot any ships passing by your island...let me know, okay?
No...it is Choromatsu's partners. I am just wondering if they will try to return to him at some point...I gave him permission to visit them at the shore, but they may try to come to the open sea instead. It is dangerous right now given that I have only recently gotten my power back. I do not know what state Totoko threw things into.
So if you happen to see them, or any ship for that matter, tell them to go back. At least for now.

I wish I could meet them right away... oh, how my heart aches not being able to do so now..
Please... let them all know how badly I wish to see them too. The desire is mutual.

Mm? All right...
...But why? Are you worried they might come here for some reason?

[Poseidon pulls himself up from the edge of the bank using a nearby tree, dreading the awkward hobble back to the sea. But for Megami, it's worth it.
He offers the goddess one last smile over his shoulder before he heads out, eventually disappearing among the trees surrounding Megami's lake.]
