Trivia

• This map is one of the only two maps in Three Houses in which the song "The Dream is Over" does not play when killing any unrecruited units during their appearances as enemy units in Part II. The other map with this distinction is Chapter 18 of the Crimson Flower route.
• During his appearance in this chapter, Dimitri's character model lacks the eyebags that he is normally seen with after the timeskip in non-Crimson Flower routes; he also uses his set of character portraits from Azure Moon Chapter 18 onward, which depicts him without eyebags. This is likely due to the fact that he uses his "sad" portrait in dialogue whenever any unrecruited students from the Blue Lions house (sans Dedue) are killed as enemies during this chapter; Dimitri's "sad" portrait is difficult to distinguish from his neutral portrait while retaining the eyebags. His incorrect set of portraits was fixed in a later update, which now properly included his eyebags, though with his character model remaining unaffected by updates.
