"...huh. No wonder Seteth gives such good advice. And no wonder Flayn is so weird."
Felix takes a moment to process this information about Crests and Crest stones, but it's the part about the slaughter that catches his attention. It makes a lot of other pieces fall into place that he didn't even really notice were out of place before. Like why Seteth is so protective of Flayn. And why Solon's group keeps trying to kill Byleth. But it makes some things make less sense.
"I don't understand. If the Ten Elites were Rhea's enemies who killed most of her family and usurped their power to make weapons" --and by 'weapons' he means both the relics and the Crests themselves-- "why would the Church create a society where their descendants are in power?"
Felix tries not to think too hard yet about the fact that the monsters he so despises were responsible for his Crest. Responsible for Sylvain's Crest, and all the bullshit his family put him through over it. Mercedes, Ingrid, Dimitri...so many of his friends have suffered because of their Crests, products of murdered saints and stolen blood.
"...hmph. Unless it was a punishment. Our society isn't exactly kind or fair to anyone, noble or commoner. Or Rhea wanted us as cannon fodder against the inevitable return of Solon's people. But still, I don't see why Seteth and Flayn are so...nice to us."
Seteth can't secretly hate him, isn't grooming him for death against the shapeshifters' blades to protect his family...right?

"Isn't Sothis Flayn's mother, as well? She's Seteth's sister." Isn't she?
