One reviewer mentioned wanting clarification on who was new on the merger. Originally I had intended all the Deer, but I decided to just go with Claude, Hilda, Ignatz and Lysithea as the new people. Too many new people would have hindered the kinds of relationships I could play with.
Dorothea adjusts to her new position. Hubert launches a daring rescue. Byleth and Mercedes badger Marianne. Dimitri can't find his reading glasses.
