You seem to be implying that it'll get even darker than

Sorta makes the amusing revelation in Paralogue 4 that
the travelling merchants are all sisters named Anna
epic Mood Whiplash if you play it immediately after it's unlocked, like I did.
In related news, I've promoted both Chrom and the MC. And yes, I waited until they were level 20 to do so. Also, I'm playing on Normal Classic, and the only unit I've lost so far has been Donnel in Paralogue 1... which was rather frustrating, since I had managed to level him up.
