@Planguy said in Young Lady Albert Is Courting Disaster (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:
I thought Mary's issue was that she was thinking only in terms of her own desires, rather then thinking what would be best for Adi. Ignoring the fact that for Adi, as much as he likes his comforts, the thing he will always prioritize is staying by Mary's side.
But in Mary's mind just taking it for granted that she can have Adi by her side is her ignoring his agency and acting like Game Mary.
Um.
It's rather different, I'd think.
Reincarnate Gamer Girl is stressing partly because the "her" who is living in game world is so comfortable with Adi that she can't imagine being away from him.
And the Game Fan knows that Adi isn't there when she's exiled.
And she wants him happy, and thinks that the Adi Route would make him such.
If she was aiming for an end where she was with Adi, she'd be aiming at something other than her in-game fate, and she knows that.
There are reasons she hasn't revealed for why she's aiming at the exile ending.
Reasons which override her desire to be with Adi.
Yes, acting like Game Mary denies his agency, because acting like Game Mary is supposed to result in his not being with her, and he just made it very clear that he wants to be with her.
Truth to tell, she'd like it if he were, but she doesn't see it as being an option given stuff she hasn't revealed concerning what happens if a different route is travelled from the one she's aiming toward; my presumption is that this is the least awful ending in canon, and she truly believes the Spirit of the Game exists and will force things to result in a canonical ending.
