#if you guys have any ideas u should lmk cuz i'm actually intrigued by this

i was thinking about the "i want you and my brother to live, even if it means hurting someone else" falin panel and i started thinking about how things would've played out if it was laios who got eaten by the dragon instead of falin. lets say for some reason she couldn't just teleport him out of the dragon's mouth/stomach and she had to go back into the dungeon just like laios had for her. how would it all go down?

i imagine that shuro would remain in the party, since falin was still there, but namari would still end up leaving for the same reasons. how quickly would falin think to start cooking monsters? would marcille be less opposed to it if falin was the one to bring it up? would they still meet senshi? how would kabru's interactions with the main party shift? how would things change without the presence of shuro's retainers (and no izutsumi ☹️)? would falin still be tempted by the winged lion at any point? would marcille still become the dungeon lord? could they even survive a succubi attack without izutsumi? would falin become queen of melini?

i don't have answers to these but they are a fun thought experiment. it's fun to think of a story where falin gets to be the main character and laios is the one who needs to be saved.
