Ardbert and Themis / Elidibus, standing in front of the aetheryte at the Twelve Wonders in Elpis. Themis is in his standard white robe, while Ardbert wears a custom set of red robes with armored vambraces. The two are holding hands and smiling at each other.

= Twelve Wonders =
"May I ask, after all your time spent here... What do you think of us? Our people, our failings, our wonders?"
"Of all the wonders of Amaurot, I must say, I believe one in particular shines above the rest."

1. "Apollo & Sphene, Valentione's in Ishgard, 1581" (written in clean, compact penmanship) Apollo and Sphene, the former in a blue canvas jacket and leather cap, the latter in a pastel yellow sweater and green scarf, standing in front of the fountain in Empyreum (which has been decorated for Valentione's Day), smiling and making hearts with their hands towards the camera.

2. "black cat + onyx shade, headed 2 studio bee-4" (written in messy, crooked handwriting) Fray (in his usual black leather jacket and turtleneck getup) and Yaana (in her black croptop and pink poofy jacket) standing each with their hands on their hips (with one of Fray's wrapped around Yaana's waist) as they smirk defiantly at the camera.

3. "Alisaie Leveilleur and Diana Celeris, enjoying their tour of the Sharlayan homeland in the Moon of Menphina, in the Fifteen Hundred and Eighty-First Year of the Sixth Astral Era" (written in very formal calligraphy) Alisaie (in a red denim jacket) and Diana (in a red leather jacket and black plaid skirt) smiling at the camera as Alisaie stands in front of Diana and Diana puts her hand on Alisaie's shoulder.

4. "last day together" (written in pen somewhat simply and uncarefully) Elidibus standing in a garden in Elpis, smiling at the camera with a nervous but happy expression (half obscured by his Convocation mask) as he rubs his left arm. There's a noticeable negative space to his left.

= Photo Album =
For some, Valentione's Day is a celebration. For others, an excuse to party, or to have a quiet night with their beloved.

For others, it's a time of mourning.

= Familiar Aftermath =
"Thank you, Azem. I don't know how you did it, but my time with your familiar made me feel more alive than I have in many years."
"Yeeeeah... I don't know how I did it either, to be quite honest."

1. A scene from the gates of Pandaemonium in the World Unsundered. Ardbert (in Apollo's body, c. post-Endwalker, wearing a red gunbreaker's coat and black armored gauntlets) is backed against the wrought iron trellis gate by Themis, who has his left hand around Ardbert's waist and the right on Ardbert's shoulder.

2. A close-up of Ardbert. His expression is surprised and a little nervous but also excited and lovestruck.

3. A close-up of Themis, showing his face in a smug, confident smirk.

= Pandaemonium Romance =
"You're shaking."
"I didn't expect... *this* from you. Not here, of all places..."
"Come now. Nobody's here. I daresay we won't get another chance like this."
"...Right you are, Themis..."

A scene from the exterior of Pandaemonium. Elidibus (as Themis) is at the front, standing with his hand on his hip and looking up in an extremely cunty manner. Ardbert (in Apollo's body) is behind him to his left, holding his axe over his shoulder and looking away while extremely blushy. Erichtonios stands on the opposite side, looking at Ardbert with a befuddled expression.

Ardbert knew that getting his second chance at life would mean experiencing a lot of new things. He did not expect one of those would be "develop a crush on the guy who hijacks your body in the future."
