Summary
In the dead of night, it is easy to forget the glories of war.
Linhardt had never once regretted choosing to stand by Edelgard’s side. They had become friends in school, and beyond that, there was a truth behind Edelgard’s declarations that stirred something in his leisurely heart. What was the point of seeking truth if what was true was concealed behind the manipulations of a beast?
So Linhardt returned to Garreg Mach to support Edelgard. He agreed, with as much enthusiasm as he could muster, to fight by her side. It was easy, in the light of day, when everything was shining and the light revealed the truth to them so easily, to brush aside any doubt and convince themselves that what they were doing was right.
That did not mean that Linhardt was a soldier.

Anthony J. Crowley has amnesia but he's muddling through.
"They’d kept him over night at the hospital. He felt strongly that this was because he’d failed current history pop quiz they’d given him. He couldn’t remember the year for example. When he’d woken with a hellish headache he’d startled a laugh out of the no-nonse Nurse by proclaiming it to be the fourteenth century."

Summary
Verona High School.
Juliet is a stranger when it comes to public schools; her parents have brought her up in a secluded, sheltered home, and have sent her to private schools despite their struggling financial situation. She's a tough girl, with apt training from her cousin, Tybalt, who just so happens to be a pretty feared kid at the school. But surpassing her strength comes her mind - she's unquestionably brilliant and wants to become the first lawyer in the family, despite her parents requests to settle down sooner. Friendship, romance...they're all concepts that she can't wrap her head around.
Until she meets Romeo Montague.Romeo is part of the the most popular gang of students at school. Despite his family's high social status, they send him to a public school - he doesn't mind; he likes associating himself with a variety of people. He's a bit of an overreactor and very emotional. Did he mention a bit of a crybaby? Thank god for his cousin Benvolio and his best friend Mercutio - without their protection, Romeo wouldn't know what to do. But physical and emotional protection can only go so far, and when his grades fall, he's stuck.
Until he meets Juliet Capulet.
