#the fact that its the ONLY route where byleth gets a heartbeat... wails

[crows-of-buckets]

The notes from edge of dawn that reoccur so frequently in the fe3h ost are so. Like edelgard fighting for humanity. The edge of dawn notes reoccur in so many tracks its insane, and i think its a way of hinting at byleths humanity. hell, it even shows up is the ashen demon theme in three hopes! its more scattered than it normally is, but its there!! you want to know where the theme DOESNT show up though? In funeral of flowers, which is a song that plays at the end of Silver Snow, a route meant to be byleth stepping away from their more human side and embracing their divinity. Instead of edge of dawn, the song of the nabateans plays. Edelgard is so closely intertwined to byleths humanity that of course the only route where byleth becomes fully human is crimson flower. This may be rambly but ive been thinking about it all day the fe3h ost is so fucking good
