I feel like talking about my experience with the BE ending a bit. I was able to spare every named character but Cyril, who was right next to Rhea so he was unavoidable, unfortunately. I was also able to get my pairs to end with each other (Manuela/Hanneman, Edelgard/Hubert, Bernadetta/Ferdinand, and Dorothea/Sylvain), plus some I wasn’t working on (Linhardt/Petra and Caspar/Shamir, the latter having them form a mercenary group instead of hooking up, though apparently they have many tales about Caspar getting into trouble that Shamir bails him out of).
