Again, it's been a while since I've played so I may have just forgotten this, but I don't remember Rhea caring all that much about Crests. Since I only played Crimson Flower I never got to hear things from Rhea's perspective, was that established more in the other routes?

That does help me see where Edelgard is coming from a bit more though. I can almost buy the trauma motivation, but it doesn't stop her from working with the people who directly caused it and are continuing to cause it to others. She can overcome her trauma to work with her abusers, but not with Claude or Dmitri? (Or maybe not Dmitri? I have no idea what his deal is.)

I think the thing that really bothers me about it personally is that I already disliked Rhea so much that when Edelgard offered to let me join up against her I couldn't do it fast enough. Then when it's time to find out the inevitable awful things she's done it's so underwhelming that I was just out of it for the rest of the route.

It probably doesn't make sense when thinking about the other routes, but I wonder if you could have had Edelgard making an uneasy alliance with Rhea against the TWSITD instead of the other way around.

My perspective of the game is probably warped since I ended up only playing the bad guy route though.
