When the planet turned into the sea of nothingness, Albion, who didn't make it back to paradise, exhausted their strength and died when they fell from the sky.

@Mirror
But even though their core[line 2]their heart[line 2]had stopped, their flesh lived on. Right before their body completely fell apart, they cut off their left claw.

That left claw was Mélusine's before this new life.
