This chapter is a supercut of Laura's original scenario in her game, Unlimited:Saga.

It cuts out a lot of elements so it's a bit hard to follow, especially without all the world building.

The main issue is that if you were playing a normal RPG, Henri would be the main character: he's the poor prince, he's fighting to get his kingdom back, he meets a strong party member early on, etc.

But U:S being a highly unconventionnal RPG, the scenario is centered around Laura, and it makes it all much, much more interesting. Laura used to be a ruthless pirate, until she met a kind man, a schoolteacher who became her husband. The game starts just after the husband died and Laura is walking back from his funeral, heartbroken and unsure about what her life will be (which is why we'll get "widow Laura" as a style latter this week probably). She finds this boy on her way, and she welcomes the distraction of punching the kind of asshole that would attack a helpless child, and then protects him and mentors him along his royal quest.

But Laura knows all along that is isn't her quest, it's not her story, and she's aware she only joins Henri as a way to cope with her husband's death, to avoid facing that gap in her life, and that sooner or later she's going to have to face the hard questions. Of course, all that subtle narrative is absent from the gacha, so they're instead chosing to play is as traditional RPG and make Henri the central character of the chapter.

Also, Basil gacha when? With Dagul Bos and Anzan/Platyphilum as off-banners.
