Maybe, just maybe, we could prevent war together
Why I Would Like to Hold Raphael From Fire Emblem
Spoiler alert for Fire Emblem: Three Houses: a war happens, and it’s not great for society. Judging by the early impressions we have of Fire Emblem: Three Hopes, there’s more war yet to come.
It’s just a lot of war, really, and that would grow tiresome. Bothersome, even.
One of the major factors behind this war is Byleth’s absence, leading to a five-year time skip that goes unseen. What horrors has Raphael experienced? Was he alone and afraid? Did he lack the guidance of which stupid monkey JPEG to invest his crypto coin in?
The best kind of maintenance is preventative, however, and I believe that the power of our hands alone will be enough to stop this war from ever even taking place.
Edelgard would recognize this irrevocable bond and change course towards a brighter future. Dimitri would be at peace at last, no longer haunted by the demons of his past. Claude probably wouldn’t care; he’s a simp.
The fact of the matter is, without this gruesome conflict, we could all just continue our tranquil little lives at Garreg Mach Monastery unimpeded. Lorenz would be the only one who would be displeased with this because damn, did his ugly ass need that time skip glow-up.
