[Ashe listened to Byleth while he sipped his tea. There were more people here than he thought, yet they were from different timelines. He remembered his fellow Blue Lions, yet the Byleth that ran their house was female, but the male version knew many things that happened back home. Then there were Edlegard and Claude who were here and remembered a Byleth that was head over their houses. Then Linhardt who joined the Golden Deers and Claude rescuing Rhea when back in Ashe's timeline they still didn't know where she could be. He spent many days comforting Cyril that they would find her alive.

He never imagined thinking back home as a separate timeline, but compared to what Byleth told him, his timeline was different than the others. He had so much to do in his timeline he didn't know how he would be able to keep up with events in other timelines! Did he stay with the Blue Lions? Was he a Golden Deer in another one? So many possibilities, so many different choices he could have taken, it really made him think.

It's hard to believe that all these things are happening at the same time. I wonder if things have changed since we're not there.

[He couldn't help his worries about the rest of their friends back home. Ashe was torn between everyone else joining them for their safety or having them stay at home so they could defend it.]
