    Summary

    The most obvious answer to Leo's predicament was to just come clean and confess his feelings for Takumi, but that would run the risk of ruining their friendship. He just couldn't see any pathway where it didn't end up awkward between them. Gods, he had no idea what to do. Why couldn't life be simple, and why did he have to be a romantically-challenged adult with an overactive fight or flight response?

    After losing those most dear to her, Byleth uses her divine powers to turn back time to the very beginning... to try it all again. Her goal is to prevent the impending war, but she quickly realizes that it's easier said than done. After all, trust is a precious commodity, and the fine lines between ally and enemy have created a web that proves difficult for Byleth to untangle. Will she be able to carve a different path for Fódlan, or are some things just unmoving in the flow of time?

    Summary

    Dorothea has been placed in Advanced Swordplay even though she's hopeless with swords and Felix has been placed in Advanced Reason even though he's terrible at it. They're struggling.

    Dorothea suggests that they tutor one another. Reluctantly, Felix agrees.

    ***

    "You're wasting your time with Felix," said Sylvain. "A fine, lovely woman like yourself deserves better. Give me a chance. I'll take you dancing. You love dancing, right? Let me show you what a real man is made of." 

    Dorothea responded with a sweet, tinkling laugh. "A real man? Oh, Sylvain. I'd bet money that Felix is ten times better in bed than you are."

    Sylvain's jaw dropped. He began to splutter and finally blurted, "I know for a fact that Felix is a--"

    "Perfectionist?" Dorothea interrupted brightly. And then, in that evil female voice that managed to mix saccharine sweetness and pity in equal measure, "Which you, Sylvain, are most definitely not. Sometimes settling for 'good enough' really isn't good enough."
