(Following last HC) ... if byleth were to manhunt her man and then realize he doesnt even remember her i think she would be sad but still protect him giving her all for her lions and faerghus... also would absolutely deadpan to him that she is doing it all because she loves him... a deadpan but absolutely honest and straightfoward answer... bc bylie is just like that...
Dimitri, sharing a meal w Byleth and Shez: I dont understand why are you helping us
B, directly to his face with nondoubt in her beautiful dead fish eyes: I am in love with you and my ultimate goal is to make you happy.
D:
B, to S dish: ... are you gonna eat that too?
i honestly think byleth would just silently suffer through it, maybe even avoid dimitri bc she feels it's not in her place to be w him in that timeline. when she finally finds him, with two whole eyes and all LMAO, she is relieved but that immediately goes away when hopesmitri calls her the ashen demon 🤧
but yeah she would still at least try to protect him and the BLs ofc
