"No one was quite sure why Emperor Edelgard suddenly sued for peace and ended all hostilities. But, Count Hubert von Vestra was later heard muttering 'F@cking Lesbians' to himself."
^^ for you all who like Harvest moon, there is a GBA game with boy and female characters (split in two games because $) but no same gender flirting... until now! https://cdromance.com/gba-roms/harvest-moon-tle-girls-love-hack/
That's the boy version but gender swapped so you can play as the gal flirting with girls. Science babies included.
This gorgeous sequence capped off such dark visuals in the ED, for both of them, that I think it's as foreboding as it is heartwarming. That entire ED is just going to get more bittersweet over the course of the season.
^Yes I know of the more recent events, but Dorthy's Vision being March 14th until March 28th is still somewhat recent to me at least. Plus the manga was steadily releasing for Global even past then. So I think it makes sense for Rhine Lab and the characters to still being people's minds, I know they are for me least lol
