I am a candle. I burned at the feast.
Gather my wax when morning arrives
so that this page will remind you
how to be proud and how to weep,
how to give away the last third
of happiness, and how to die with ease—
and beneath a temporary roof
to burn posthumously, like a word. 🕯

Legendary Lilina is neat. I like her. But then I remember how few lines and little presence she actually had within FE6. Like Guinevere, this seems to be a posthumous narrative promotion by Intsys.

Ah well. By all rights, this opens up the possibility of a Legendary Caeda.
