Last Time:

"Gods... how could I have been so oblivious?" Felix muttered, slamming the door to his room once he was inside. "The name and hair could have been conditional, but that just proved it."

Felix pulled out a small hairclip from a secure place in his room. "Glenn only taught that wrist move to Celine and I. No one else in Faerghus knows it."

He placed the hairclip back in the drawer, closing it. Felix walked out of his room, closing the door behind him.

"It was so obvious. Blythe found Celine four years ago with amnesia, right after Duscur. We lost Glenn and Celine at Duscur, but now we got her back. My sister's alive... but she doesn't remember a thing."

Felix sighed. The goddess could be so cruel.

29th of the Garland Moon, Garreg Mach Monastery, Marketplace (Late Morning), Imperial Year 1180

The marketplace was bustling with activity. While the area was always a busier part of the monastery, the free days the students had every Sunday made all of the shops even busier than normal. Sometimes, the shopkeepers had a hard time keeping up with all of the activity!

Some students were in the marketplace for recreational purposes, using the area to spend time with their friends. Other students, on the other hand, only used the marketplace for business, even if it was a free day.

Celine was one of those students who only came to the marketplace on business purposes. In her current circumstance, she was helping Byleth complete some last minute preparations for their upcoming mission the next day.

The blue-haired young woman blew some of her bangs out of her face. However, they just fell right back down. Lightly growling in frustration, Celine tucked them behind her ear... as much as she could, anyway.

"I need to get Hilda or Dorothea to trim these." Celine muttered to herself, weaving through a group of people with a brief apology. "My bangs are getting too long. I like my bangs, but this is ridiculous. They're going to impair my sight during battle if they get any longer."

When Celine was just getting her hair into the right place, a gust of wind blew through the marketplace. It tossed Celine's hair into a jumble, making her have to fix her hair again. However, when she was fixing her hair, the piece of paper in her hand blew away as well.

"Can this day get any worse!?" Celine groaned, chasing after the small piece of paper. She sprinted through small crowds of people, her hand desperately trying to grab the paper flying through the air. "Sorry! Coming through!"

People moved out of the way at Celine's yell, but none of them offered to help. They just watched as a young woman, with her dark blue hair in a ponytail, chased after a piece of paper. The townspeople shook their heads and continued on with their day.

After chasing the paper for what seemed like an eternity, Celine saw the paper gently land on the ground.

"...Finally!" Celine heaved, stumbling to a stop. Her chest burned as she rested her hands on her legs, bending over. She tried, in vain, to catch her breath. Someone picked up the piece of paper. Celine widened her eyes. "Hey-! ...I need that! Give it back!"
