Digital drawing of Dorothea Arnault, Hubert von Vestra, and Ferdinand von Aegir from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They are standing in the Enbarr Palace dining hall in front of a long table bearing a bunch of breakfasty-looking foods. While a too-smug Dorothea stands by, rolling her eyes, Ferdinand blushes and glances at Hubert, whose awkward smile is so tight that it looks like he might choke or have a heart attack. Set above and below the picture is a UI with various stats. At the top, there is: a red knife and fork icon labeled &ldquot;Ravenous&rdquot;; a red icon of two chat bubbles labeled &ldquot;Conversing&rdquot;; a red icon of a man being pierced through the heart by a spear labeled &ldquot;Exposed&rdquot;; and Hubert's silver pocketwatch, currently set to 8:20 and labeled &ldquot;40 minutes.&rdquot; Along the bottom there are three meters: one with a skull icon labeled &ldquot;Stress Tolerance,&rdquot; set to 55/100; one with a chat bubble icon labeled &ldquot;Social Energy,&rdquot; set to 65/100; and one with a knife and fork labeled &ldquot;Hunger,&rdquot; set to 15/100.

Well, it has been nice. You will miss a great many things about FÓDLAN, but this is for the best. You make to bid FERDINAND goodbye and depart for the east.

There is no need to be glum. It is not so bad. ALMYRA will be fine. You do not really know much of much about the country, but it will not be here, and that will be preferable. This is a good plan. You want to do this. It will be like a VACATION (or what you assume a VACATION is like), except it will be forever and you will never return. You can write to FERDINAND about the HORSES, and try getting yourself some sun as DOROTHEA has done, and perhaps make yourself some new FRIENDS.

A glimpse inside Hubert's mind. He is making that too-tight smile and picturing (via photo-collage) what he imagines the country of Almyra to be: an arid land of deserts and steppes, with many horses around—and of course, Claude von Riegan. The artwork from the Fire Emblem Heroes unit &ldquot;Claude: King of Unification&rdquot; is used directly, with speech bubbles that say &ldquot;Hi Hubert — Let's Hang Out.&rdquot;

No... No... Actually, you do not want to do this. You do not want to do this at all.

In light of this revelation, it occurs to you that you must give further thought to some of your emergency scenario plans.

Direct continuation from the first panel. Ferdinand and Dorothea are cheerfully chatting; Ferdinand is blushing, but looks very pleased with himself, while Dorothea is laughing at whatever Ferdinand said. Hubert, meanwhile, still looks like he is considering having a heart attack, although he's significantly more relieved than he was moments ago. At the top, there is: a red knife and fork icon labeled &ldquot;Ravenous&rdquot;; a red icon of two chat bubbles labeled &ldquot;Conversing&rdquot;; and Hubert's silver pocketwatch, currently set to 8:20 and labeled &ldquot;40 minutes.&rdquot; The &ldquot;Exposed&rdquot; effect has been removed. Along the bottom there are three meters: one with a skull icon labeled &ldquot;Stress Tolerance,&rdquot; set to 55/100; one with a chat bubble icon labeled &ldquot;Social Energy,&rdquot; set to 65/100; and one with a knife and fork labeled &ldquot;Hunger,&rdquot; set to 15/100.

Whilst you were mentally four thousand miles away, something else happened, and FERDINAND is now cheerfully espousing the virtues of adopting a fresh new look. How fortunate indeed to have a SORT-OF-BOYFRIEND so immune to the devastating effects of truth.

There is an opening in the conversation, and since you sidestepped the last one so deftly, you are obliged to fill it yourself.

What next, HUBERT?
