Gustave, Maelle, and Lune are firm about continuing their mission to stop the Paintress and to avenge Expedition 33 but have no way to reach her. Noco suggested they head to their village full of Gestrals and find help there. In the Gestral Village, you can meet a few merchants selling useful items, and Jujubree will have the Critical Moment Pictos.

You can find this merchant in the Gestral Bazaar, and you must first defeat them in battle to access their full inventory. Take on Jujubree in a fight, and winning will grant you full access to their inventory. You will need 5,520 Chroma to purchase a level 5 version of the Critical Moment Pictos.
