To... pause time?

[ that's a strange one, but all right. ]

You're lucky all of you survived such a crash.

[shaft]

Yeah, time flowed unusually there. Occasionally... It would rewind if we made a poor decision.

for a moment, it looks like byleth has stopped breathing completely, listening to claude.

she holds the glass of water for claude in both hands in her lap.]

How did you activate it...?

[shaft]

[her lips purse, but she doesn't say anything to the contrary. he's... not wrong.

Drink plenty of water. You can sleep in a few hours.

[shaft]

[ He takes the water to have a sip, eyes slipping closed. ]

This is going to be a tiring night.

I'd rather you were alive and tired, than dead and well-rested.
