Lmao my brain was in total female himbo Byleth mode. I was like " >:( OMG a villain. Maybe a kind of honorable one but this person is doing some bad stuff! This is my foe!" and then when the reveal happened I was completely flattened, I didn't see it coming at all and it felt like such a personal betrayal.
I wonder what would happen if Ruby was there too. Would she join in teasing Azurite? Would Baiser notice their mutual attraction and force them to "play" together? Oh, the possibilities!
