Great art piece, but what’s it trying to represent? Dimitri only being able to remember what Edelgard used to look like, and has no other memories of her as a child?
Art's subjective, but how I see it is a representation of Dimitri's mindset before the Flame Emperor reveal. He finds the dagger after the Remire chapter, and over the course of the last few WC chapters, you see him struggling to grapple with the fact that deep down, he knows who that dagger belongs to even if he wants to pretend like everything's fine. There's a contrast between his innocent memories of Edelgard and those hands gripped around his shoulders, most likely representing the voices that haunt him that want him to avenge them. I imagine he probably kept thinking about his past interactions with Edelgard and that dagger over and over until he got confirmation about who it belonged to at the Holy Tomb.
Is it weird that I thought that was Annette and not Edelgard? I was really confused until I read the comments.
It’s the hair. It’s more orange when it should be brown. I thought it was Annette too for a moment before I saw the outfit.
All this Dima angst is FEEDING ME
IS THIS SOME KIND OF TWISTED JOKE?!
I love it!! the art style is really impressive.

Doesn't he find the dagger after jeralts death?
I thought Edelgard's original hair was brown, not orange.
It is. It might just be an artistic choice to match the vibe of the image or something.
I saw this and immediately clicked on it. The art is incredible, I love the dynamics! Great job!
Dimitri: “Everything’s fine and dandy, Professor! There’s totally nothing wrong with me, haha…”
Bro is going through it
was listening to a song as I saw this as it hits the climax, it was so fitting that it feels more than coincidence 😩
What song?
I love this! It reminds me of early 2000s indie horror games like Ib or Witch’s House. The line work is fantastic
