Olivier survives the events in Twinside, and is freed of Ultima’s possession. At last, he might ask his brother about the glorious dragoons.

Notes: Written for yuletide 2023, a gift for raininshadows. I’ve concocted an explanation for Olivier’s survival that may not align with canon lore around Ultima etc., but please suspend disbelief for the purposes of this AU.
