Sentimentality

It's been 835 years since the war ended and yet Byleth finds herself working as a museum tour guide in Derdriu recounting the tale as if it were something she read in a textbook. It was better than all the other jobs she had in the past at least. Much better than returning home and listening to the newest TikTok Flayn had found on repeat.She's mostly thrilled to be able to see her husband every day. Sure he never answered her, and yeah he had the same expression on his face every day and- okay yeah it was a painting.Her painting never talked back to her, luckily, yet despite that she finds herself speaking with a man who's expressions did change, who did reply to her, who followed her around the museum and had an uncanny resemblance to her late husband. It did not help that he was the next in line for the throne.
