I don't think that Jeritza would take over as the Black Eagles Professor. We can see that Manuela is the Black Eagles Professor and Hanneman is the Blue Lions professor unless Byleth chooses one of those classes, in which case they then teach the Golden Deer. Following that logic, it seems that Jeritza would naturally teach the Golden Deer. I don't think he would get the same option as Byleth to choose his class especially as this isn't his first year teaching (technically). Then again, I don't think that would really change much. It's unknown what role Jeritza was exactly supposed to play that he couldn't as a Weapons Instructor. If anything, as a Weapons Instructor, Jeritza had more free time and leeway with what he could do. Also, I don't think he would kill Flayn as Edelgard could still show up as the Flame Emperor and stop him. I'm not sure if the Remire plague would still happen, it's not clear why it occurred in the first place, however Kronya killing Jeralt (or someone else close to Edelgard) would likely happen as that occurred as a warning to Edelgard not to get too buddy-buddy with her classmates. And like you said, Kronya likely wouldn't get caught (or even revealed perhaps) which means Solon wouldn't use her for the Forbidden Spell of Zahras. Meaning that both Kronya and Solon would likely still be in play. And, like you said again, the Attack on the Holy Tomb likely wouldn't occur either which means Edelgard has additional time to prepare for the attack on Garreg Mach. That would also mean, however, that the attack on Garreg Mach would come as a surprise to Rhea and her defenses wouldn't be as strong. That, however, would likely backfire on Edelgard like you said. In all other routes, Byleth helps with the defense of Garreg Mach and is able to repel the initial attack. It's only when the Agarthan reinforcements show up that Rhea takes things into her own hands and transforms into the Immaculate One, however Thales has accounted for this with Demonic Beasts stopping her, allowing her to be captured. When Edelgard and Byleth together overwhelm her with their initial forces, Rhea transforms and flees instead, which is likely what would happen with a surprise attack without Agarthan reinforcements to subdue her. After that, the war would still stalemate and slowly start to weaken the Empire until they collapsed, or the fighting would continue for an indefinite amount of time. Who knows? Another point to note is whether Edelgard would still become Emperor early on and place Duke Aegir under house arrest. Either way, it would likely not change anything. As a side note, I actually read a fic regard this topic. It hypothesized that the war would last for 10 years with the war turning against Edelgard's favor after 5 years and slowly giving way to the Church and Kingdom forces. Edelgard would hold on for as long as she could and even hold the territory around Enbarr for an entire year before her forces completely crumpled and she would be captured alive, even in her Hegemon form, where she is then to be executed (and subsequently falls in love with Rhea... it's a weird fic...).

I played dimitri house first and think that every leader is correct in their views despite their flaws. Now to address some things from the video: 12:04 japan went through a period like this just fine, a couple of rebellions by the "old guard" who were upset at the restructuring of society which resulted in a couple of tens/hundreds of thousands dead but propelled japan from feudal society to industrialized great power 13:46 m!byleth will take over as regent until his and edelgards child is old enough to take the throne after which byleth will become the new archbishop 16:09 mongols fought multiple countries at the same time during their invasions of europe, subutai was just that good. Fighting on multiple fronts is basically an everyday occurence in any total war game on higher difficulty. Also since edelgard wants a crestless society she achieves her goals even in the routes in which she dies.

When it comes to Crimson Flower vs Scarlett ablaze. i think Crimson flower Empire would crash and burn because Edelgard would start her new government that would start fall quick because the nobles would just use connections and money and black mail that would just undo Edelgards plan and create another war! Not to mention, Edelgard in Crimson flower doesn't listen to anyone other than Byleth. Byleth, who essentially is a Echo chamber because they do not go against her keeping secrets and lying, so Crimson flower Empire is DOOMED for Another war. in Scarlet Ablaze empire, She has the same plan but this time she is more open for Suggestions from Allie OTHER than the MC because she was shown concequences for her lying, even if it was very short and maybe could be dragged out a bit. In the supports and possibly on screen, Shez would voice his/her disagreements on Edelgards plan and opinions and point the errors that could be Fixed and she is actually listening to Them! I think Scareltt Ablaze Empire might actually have a chance at being in true peace! Especially since this Edelgard will actually listen if her Friends tell her if there is a problem in her plan. Edelgard's main problem is keeping secrets and lying to everyone and wanting EVERYTHING to be under HER control because it is hard for her tp trust others after the life she had. I think Byleth makes things worse since they pretty much make her issues grow rather than have her fight that inner demon and brings the empire down because of it. Shez and Scarlet Ablaze forcer Edelgard to stop her shit and force her to fight that issue and tell her friends the truth! Given that her echo chamber is not with her this time!

I personally think Crimson Flower is the victim of bad/rushed writing. There are many issues with the plot that are covered up by lazy and quick bits of information

35:07 I guess there wasn't anything for Ivy, Timerra, Alfred and diamant that interests you huh, good video either way

14:00 I dunno, I’m pretty sure Lysithea did all the heavy lifting in my playthrough

Something to consider is how the newly discovered lost technology will shape the future. It could either destroy the Empire or be its salvation.

I know I’m super late to this, but thank you for bringing in Erza Scarlet! Always good to see Fairy Tail talked about in a positive light and you gave her a good fight that I wish we got over Zoro!

On the matter of CF/NDI timelines, I don't even believe in the validity of CF's ending. I don't think Edelgard gets to her peace, even if claude and dimitri go poof. I firmly believe that Free the Soul of N would be able to beat Post-war Edelgard, through the several powers they hold, and that The Left eye of Nemesis would be reborn.

Edelgard's empire should last a least a few generations before regions try to breakaway. After the conquest all the talented commanders and generals are either dead or on her side. She is abolishing the class system so the common people will be on her side. Even the Agarthans have been canonically eradicated.

When I first played Three Houses, I was going to play Crimson Flower first: but then I chose Verdant Wind instead because Claude and the rest of the Golden Deer made me think of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure🦌 Thank you JoJo, for saving me from choosing the losing side first✊

Dude, Crimson Flower literally has better endings whenever there are route specific differences. Thats like just an objective fact based on written text, are you stupid or did you just not do research? Guess what happens when the Empire with the most refined culture according to the games developers, clearly the most advanced administration considering the presence of actual ministries for different state functions and which first abolishes the feudal system and introduces a seperation between church and state wins the war compared to, I don't know, the Kingdom that had been a disease infested shithole until one of the evil mole people introduced plumming and that just did some Rwanda Style genocide against the only brown people on the continent 5 years prior to the game takes over? Like it even makes sense, Edelgard and Claude are the only politically sound leaders among the 3 Lords while Dimitri is the raging jock with a weakness in reason and Claude fucks off after winning the war, leaving Fodlan in a state in which it, according to the ending cards, would have been conquered by the beaten and crushed remains of the empire and the mole people if not for becoming a permanent protectorate of the ottoman empire.

21:13 I always figured that dagger Edelgard pulled out was some kind of tell for the bandits, because surely she had some kind of plan in case of brigand charging her with axe ready..... Right?

I understand why they wanted us to play as all the advertised lords, but the way they bend over backwards trying to make Edelgard a hero in her own route just does not work. Her role is so clearly intended to be villainous as the invading party that it just feels nonsensical trying to make the player feel justified in anything that they're doing. None of it ever feels right. I played Blue Lions first, so naturally I tend to favor that route more than the others, but even Verdant Wind as a story is something I can get behind. There's nothing in Edelgard's route that I can make sense of. It would have been one thing if they were pushing her as the evil route but the idea of the tyrannical dictator being the supposed good guy in the end is something that has never sat well with me.

Found the one who slither in the dark

What I don't like about three houses and I guess by extension three hopes is that it dumps you in the middle of a mess between monsters and forces you to choose even though you are supposed to be a teacher and thus impartial. Why should I care about any of these groups when they are some combination of nuts, moronic, and outright immoral?

No 👎

Your video are wrong

No 👎 You are wrong! Your video are wrong Stop being like a karen or ken/kevin 😠 😡 😤

This video is fantastic and outlines every reason I feel like Edelgard is going to fail sooner or later. Three Houses/Hopes has absolutely led to both the best and worst discussion I've seen in the fandom, I think it might actually be more divisive than Fates was in its day.

@1:33 Hubert would buy it, and then resell it for a higher price.

Golden Wildfire is the worst route because while we saw Claude's more tactical side, it came at the cost of his wisdom/maturity because Three Houses Claude isn't nearly this stupid about Rhea, and none of the changes in the Hopes timeline justified how much less nuanced his views of Fódlan's issues are. Azure Gleam is the best route because it took on the worldbuilding role that Verdant Wind previously held, and Dimitri got to show his more tactical side, but also a bit more of his political knowhow and understanding of the true nature of his power.

5:49 There is that one Abyssal Library document that posits that King Klaus I was assassinated, and the whole will was a forgery, possibly orchestrated by the Agarthans. If so, that was probably one of their most successful ploys over the 1100 years between the Wat of Heroes and the game.

It really just comes down to the same reason the Church itself had its failings and collapsed in the game, the foundation is built upon lies, the two factions, and leaders of those factions, are two sides of the same coin.

isn’t it kinda implied that crests disappear in crimson flower after rhea is defeated that would mean that edelgard should be around a bit longer

Love the video, small disagreements here and there but just want to compliment the quality of everything. My main issue is that in Manuela's support Edelgard says she's fine with keeping the religion, just not the Church itself. And with Byleth having the Sword of the Creator the religion itself could come back as a unifying force, just not in the same, political, way. Also think you kind of underplayed just how powerful Byleth is, Byleth alone can keep literal armies down alone. That being said these ONLY apply to Crimson Flower, where she has Byleth's raw power and the Sword of the Creator as a rallying point.

As someone familiar with historical revolutions like the ones in France and Russia, there is at least the chance that Adestria will be reformed after Edelgard is done driving it to the ground... But *only* after a huge fuck-off civil war that engulfs the entire continent, resulting in either fragmentation that puts all of Fódlan back to square one, or a Yugoslavia scenario where multiple ethnic and religious groups are extremely prejudiced against one another because they're forced to be united instead of allowed to live in separate nations.

I finished crimson flower first then played all the other routes and slowly realized how insane Edel is. Siding with an organization that dropped nukes is not it.

Yea, my first route was Verdant Wind and that definitely colors my depiction of events. It also makes me side with Claude's ideas more often

In terms of the balance of power in Edelgard's routes, I do believe that while rebellions are likely they are much less dangerous than the prior instances that gave rise to the non-Adrestian polities to begin with, and the reason lies in the main difference between Fodlan's feudalism and the real-world kind: the nobles really are All That TM in Fodlan. Faerghus has a horrible climate and no riches to speak of, but what it does have in abundance is Elite Crests left over from Nemesis. With the power of dragon blood and dragon bone (seriously, Seiros, you had centuries to clean that junk up), the northerners can punch well above their weight class. Adrestia can only hold on against them in a straight fight because it has an overwhelming manpower advantage, and if the Kingdom gets its shit together and fields its big hitters as a single solid core Adrestia can forget about winning. Which is why, crucially, Edelgard's plans always involved an element of treachery within the Kingdom, whether through Cornelia's coup in Three Houses or through mass defections in Mach in Three Hopes. Notably, these plans are big gambles and do in fact go awry in Edelgard's routes (through Rhea going to Fhirdiad and/or Thales pulling away support in CF, and through Leeroy Lonato in SB), requiring Anime Protagonist Intervention to salvage. By the end of Edelgard's routes in either game the nobles of Faerghus are in disarray. Crimson Flower involves the death of Rodrigue, Ingrid (if unrecruited), Dimitri, and Gustave, permanently taking the Relics of their houses off the board. Similarly, Three Hopes involves a massacre of the central Faerghus nobility in Chapter 11. Claude's betrayal is itself not necessarily catastrophic. While there was tension between the Empire and the Alliance, that doesn't mean that the Alliance was united in its opposition to the Empire. Indeed, House Gloucester wouldn't join Claude's new rebellion under any circumstance, Lysithea outright supports unification, and Edmund's position is rather unclear. Even if Claude escapes Aillel, the Empire's victory there is decisive and will send a strong message to Leicester that will discourage their strongest warriors from properly rallying. I wouldn't even bet on Holst throwing in with Claude there, and would actually bet against Holst resisting further if Claude dies. That is, in the end, the main point of Edelgard's war plans. The objective isn't just to take over, it is also to bleed the Crested nobility to the point of breaking their ability to mount effective resistance. The shadow war with the Agarthans in CF is unlikely to be a big drain either, as the very presence of the Javelins of Light means that realistically the only way for that war to go is for an overwhelming attack on Shambhala to occur pretty much immediately after the fall of Fhirdiad, something that the destruction of Arianrhod can enable by providing the trail for the Javelins. While the reforms themselves are an administrative challenge that was never attempted in Fodlan's entire history (what with Rhea basically adopting Nemesis's system whole cloth), the military component is not the likely point of failure. Now, to be as fair and balanced as my Edelgard-supporting self can be, I do not give Edelgard good chances in a no-intervention scenario. While the sheer divergence between Houses and Hopes shows that there was a wealth of opportunity for things to deviate wildly in 1180, Edelgard's war plans were always long shots that depended on her enemies not being at their best, and indeed mostly revolved around moving her enemies on all sides into each other's way to have them sort themselves out without requiring her to apply the very limited resources that she considered actually reliable. Indeed, the only thing that stops me from saying that the Agarthans have the advantage there overall is their own comical ineptitude (and lack of defined endgame).

Fellow church chad.

8:25 other than the tragedy of Nuvelle happening (same situation as Duscur but with Constance), I’d probably agree

Little thing to note about justifying picking the popular MU for Chrom vs Morag. To quote another creator "According to the totally Legal RUclipsr contract is that you're allowed to temper your blindingly hot takes with at least one Boring pick"

Love your video essays keep up the work

Thanks for the video.

There is also the fact a meritocracy wouldn’t work in fodlan because 1. Meirt is deeply subjective person to person which makes it extremely fragile and it also doesn’t prevent nepotism since Nobles could just simply choose their children as their hierarchy, 2. Meritocracy massively favor those with time and resources and often it nobles who where simply born with land and since Edelgard doesn’t do anything to even out and 3. Crest are a form of merit, people put value onto them and they get results, hell Edelgard proves that crest are valuable if she wins the war since she had two! So her solution to the problem is the same problem. There is also the fact that Edelgard society would be based on a lie as well since she sided with the Agarthans (Who by the way, are actual reason why Fodlan is messed up) by her own choice, framed Rhea. What would happen if people had found out what Edelgard did, they probably call her a hypocrite and consider her society bullshit.

What we have to consider is that the Empire's revolt against the Church of Seiros was written long before Edelgard took the throne. For the longest time, the relations with the Church were strained because Rhea sided against the Empire (her ally in the War of Heroes) in favour of the Kingdom during their war for independence. She brokered a peace treaty between them, but only under the condition that Faerghus make the Church of Seiros their official religion, essentially ranking her above the king. So the Empire loses a ton of land to the rebels (who were assisted by the Agarthans, Pan was Loog's tactician) and Rhea gives herself more power at their expense. All this after Wilhelm fought alongside her previously against Nemesis. So Rhea, being the figurehead of the Church of Seiros, now has authority over both the Empire and the Kingdom, allowing her to rule unquestioned, as standing up to her would drag in the other nation (as evidenced in 3 Houses and especially in 3 Hopes, where Faerghus is unwillingly drawn into the war in the latter game, willingly joining in the former because of Dimitri's mental breakdown). She could literally disregard the laws of any nation and operate unimpeded and unquestioned, making the position of Emperor, King and the Alliance's roundtable nothing more than a figurehead. She also created the toxic society that revolved entirely around Crests and did not use her authority to chastise or rebuke nobles who abused their power and status, instead allowing the corruption to run rampant. Rhea never truly cared for humanity, viewing them as ignorant and barbaric and unable to govern themselves. And when we consider that Sothis herself wasn't much better in 3 Hopes (having not lost her memory, she becomes much more authoritarian and ruthless, demanding that Byleth submit to her, which would completely erase Byleth's mind, effectively killing them, and she even preys on their fragile emotional state after Shez kills Jeralt, if you don't recruit them). Also consider that Sothis was actually an invader, as she did NOT originate on Fodlan, having arrived from space. She establishes herself as a goddess and creates her own brood (the Nabateans), which was heavily implied to have overthrown the existing societal order and placed them above the native humans. The way Rhea tells it is that Fodlan was a wasteland before Sothis arrived. However, Rhea has been known to lie about history in order to push the narrative that Sothis was a good goddess and the ultimate authority (thereby giving herself ultimate authority) and we also need to remember that Rhea was the youngest out of all the first generation Nabateans, meaning Sothis had already established herself by the time Rhea was born. However, the existence of an Agarthan pantheon contradicts this, as an organized religion implies the existence of a functioning society prior to Sothis's arrival. So the claim that Fodlan was an empty wasteland and that Sothis was the progenitor of all life is completely false. Furthermore, her claim that they were wicked and sought power over Sothis could also be caused by her own bias, as she was very young when the massacre at Red Canyon occurred, and someone witnessing those events would likely draw that conclusion. However, as we've established, the Agarthan civilization was deposed by Sothis and the Nabateans, so it's highly likely they instead rebelled against the invader. Remember, when Byleth sides against Rhea, she declares them all heretics and wicked souls, she doesn't hesitate to lambast them as pure evil and refuses to consider that she could ever be objectively wrong in her judgement. This is further exacerbated in Crimson Flower when she sets fire to the town, filled with innocents (shocking even Catherine, who is completely loyal to her). So, what this all means is that, other than Those Who Slither in the Dark, Rhea is the single worst thing that ever happened to Fodlan and is the source of all the problems with their society, as she is the immortal tyrant that has ruled since the beginning of the Empire's history. So whether or not you think Edelgard was justified in her war, it WAS necessary. She was never going to step down from her position, especially after her experiment fails, it was only her imprisonment during Azure Moon, Silver Snow and Verdant Wind that she does so, an imprisonment that would not have occurred were it not for Edelgard. This is more evident in 3 Hopes, as she maintains her position as Archbishop in the Azure Storm ending, since Byleth never reaches Garreg Mach and Rhea never recruits them. In both Golden Wildfire and Crimson Blaze, she is removed from her position forcefully. So yes, maybe the Empire falls, whether to infighting or becomes something different through societal change (maybe instead becoming a democratic nation), fundamentally, the outcome is still better than if Rhea remained in charge, as she stifled progress and change, something Claude points out.

Why does every single nickname for the Agarthans make me chuckle? And why did "Cult of Dubstep" make me laugh the hardest?

Being honest I kinda think Fodlan's screwed no matter what ending you go for: Azure Moon leaves it in the hands of a literal madman whose backers wont lift a single finger to ever stop him. Silver Snow leaves it in the hands of a person whose closest job to governance beforehand was 'first year teacher' and is now god king. Also enshrines Crest system harder than ever. Verdant Wind is just Silver Snow, but also the leader of the alliance reveals he was only using it to become king of Fodlan's biggest outside enemy. And Crimson Flower is Crimson Flower.

Honestly I thought the same when I finished all routes in 3 Houses. I'm not done with 3 Hopes yet. All of the "and everyone was happily ever after" endings felt wrong to me, but especially in Crimson Flower it just felt... Improbable lol. Also I started with Golden Deer, but ended up adoring the Blue Lions instead. Go figure.

0:44 Ironically enough, my first route was the Azure Moon route but I find myself agreeing more with Edelgard's ideologies than Dimitri's. 😶 Make of that what you will.

Oh yeah just like the second she dies that empire is falling apart

You know, the title annoyed me, but I decided to hear you out. And I appreciate, as an Edelgard fan, that you argued with a relatively impartial stance and tried to argue the facts and logic as much as possible. I'll try to argue the points you made using Crimson Flower, Scarlet Blaze, Golden Wildfire, and the no Byleth/Shez scenario. Warning: LONG post. But that just shows how I did enjoy your video. *- Crimson Flower:* When you argued about how Rhea did maintain peace for a very long time, I feel that it has to be understood that Rhea's form of peace is incredibly dubious and arguably unethical in nature. Rhea's form of peace involves a lot of things where she allows nobles with Crests to do almost anything they want (see how a commoner mentioned she lost her whole family because of a noble) and also the much corruption in the nobility that has been going on. It also involves a lot of suppression of technology and keeping people ignorant. As we clearly see, Rhea's peace involves some of the cruelest things happening overall by the present day comes in. Not to mention how isolationist policies are never good long run. Also, it is important to note that Edelgard dismantles the Church, not the religion. Even stated in Ferdinand's support with Mercedes that Edelgard allows people to continue to practice their faith and religion. So even after the war in CF is over, people's identity of following the same faith will not be stripped from them, so there is still a good aspect. Furthermore, because Rhea tries to burn down the Kingdom's capital and Edelgard goes to help the people, it's made clear that the Empire will be seen as saviors to the people of the Kingdom as a result of this. Furthermore, if she eradicates TWSITD, there's no dark secret faction that will bring about instability. Is Edelgard's future guaranteed? No. But it will bring about the best form of peace that is arguably the most ethical because no immortal is controlling the people, the people are now able to have free education, and there's no evil group that will be able to mess things up. *- Scarlet Blaze:* A great point you brought up about how the Empire overextended and couldn't fight two fronts, which Edelgard realizes is a mistake and ultimately understands the importance of cooperating with the Alliance/Federation. However, you are right that there is tension in trust given how easily Claude jumped ship the moment that Byleth convinced him otherwise. However, the good ending of Scarlet Blaze does ultimately make a point to show that Claude will support Edelgard as she finishes off the Kingdom in a final stand. After all, in SB, things went as Hubert personally hoped, where Aegir and all the remaining people of the Empire who opposed Edelgard banded together. This allowed Edelgard to ultimately crush every rebel faction in her Empire. With Thales and Rhea's supposed deaths, both TWSITD and the Central Church lost much influence and power. The Kingdom, mostly beaten down, can only make a weak final stand before being crushed by Edelgard and Claude completely. The thing to note is that recruiting Byleth results in Edelgard having a chance to talk to Claude and get to know each other a bit more. And Claude learning that Edelgard is not truly as ruthless as he thought her to be, when he learns that Edelgard doesn't want Rhea dead. This chance where Claude learns a bit more means that some trust has been built between them. Hence why it ends with Claude and Edelgard reaffirming their newfound friendship. *- Golden Wildfire:* I agree. This is arguably the best route in my opinion and a personal favorite. Claude holds all the cards and can force the Empire and Kingdom to hold peace. With the Federation defeating the Central Church once and for all, the Empire lost its reason for war. And Edelgard owes Claude a favor. And Claude has so much unity of his nation because of this victory that even the Empire and Kingdom cannot dismiss him. Claude also knows about TWSITD and can get Dimitri to help once more with Edelgard to eliminate the dark forces. Ultimately, there can be a begrudging form of peace that might be a bit unstable but has genuine merit behind it. *- No Byleth/Shez:* I dunno. Without Byleth, Edelgard would easily kill Kostas. Kostas being dead means that the bandits will scatter like in 3Hopes. Then that means like in 3Hopes, Jeritza is the professor and thus can track down Monica. Even if you argue that Monica cannot be saved, Edelgard can use Jeritza to masquerade missions to undermine TWSITD and keep tabs on them. Edelgard wouldn't allow Flayn to be killed, and the Creator Sword would come into Edelgard's possession, but Thales will note that without the Crest Stone, it's unable to be used, and likely will modify it so that Edelgard can use it. And if Edelgard has more time on her hands in the Academy, she could work to secure more alliances with others. Namely, she could end up being able to work something out with Claude. Claude also would not be as confident to take things on his own and might secure a working relationship with Edelgard because there's no Byleth to put all his hopes on. --- Anyway, great video and if you read all the way here, I hope that you enjoyed my points.

The ironic thing is, Dark Beast Ganon is harder on the horse or the Master Cycle Zero. It’s much easier without the horse or the Master Cycle Zero.

Something really awesome and really funny I did in the Consul K/Moebius K fight is that I managed to do THREE Chain Attacks against him, with the third one being the Overkill Chain Attack. The funny part? I had Launched him into the air and he kept spinning around in place. I’m not kidding. I wished I had footage of it, but it was awesome!

Awesome video) 👌 Edelgard is a very good villain and antagonist. As a playable character not so much due to her being said villain/antagonist. She's like Arvis, but less competent and is defeated far sooner then him.

Yeah when I played 3H it was pretty obvious to me that CF would've led to the most unstable and chaotic ending for Fodlan. I really didn't like how all the ending things just went like "they all lived happily ever after The End". If all ends are the same, then Edelgard's means aren't justified

I love this video, I'm glad youtube led me here. I hope you end up doing more videos like this! The range of games you mention in this video was awesome, and you reminded me i still need to play xenoblade 3. Looking forward to your next video!

Moebius as the Chapter 1 end boss in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He made a big impression on me and he keeps coming back.
