History Recap / FateGrandOrderS4E2Id

** The Protagonist and Jeanne Alter outright go on a date complete with holding hands, and it's clear neither of them mind. It's the biggest ShipTease that's been featured in a Main Story arc to date... and then a bunch of the Avengers have to be PutOnABus following their Complex Breakthrough, including Jeanne Alter. She and the Protagonist clearly take it the hardest out of everyone, to the point where they're both brought to tears.

** Even with the deeper meaning of the Avenger Class discovered, destructive monsters that serve a purpose ''are still destructive monsters''; it's literally their job to expose injustice as swiftly and brutally as possible, and ''not'' doing this damages their Saint Graphs. How does the Protagonist reconcile this and keep their Avenger friends? ...The simple answer is that '''they can't'''. They're just not the sort of person that can be TheUnfettered even if that's what it takes to let the Avengers stay, and none of the Avengers want to see them become like that either. Neither side is willing to let the other destroy themselves, and so for the sakes of both, they have to go their separate ways.

* WhereItAllBegan: The ultimate source of the Singularity in the fake Tokyo? It's the Protagonist's ''own house'', Dantès taking the narrative role of the Protagonist's father to invoke a powerful suggestive defense so that no one would even think to enter his private study. Said study leads to the proper wastehole where all of the Protagonist's trauma is buried and burned away, and where the final confrontations with Dantès and Cagliostro take place.

Full title: "Ordeal Call II - Id, Wastehole of the Unsalvagable".

* IfIWantedYouDead: Dantès being in control of a Singluarity within the Protagonist's own mind meant that he had ''so many'' ways to kill them virtually unopposed, some of which they even point out, but he hasn't followed through. This is what tips the Protagonist off that Dantès hasn't gone rogue like he appears.

* SacrificialLion: The facsimiles of adult da Vinci, child da Vinci, and Mash serves as the Protagonist's mother, little sister, and childhood friend respectively. Their only purpose in the narrative that Dantès wrote is to ''die horribly and be StuffedInTheFridge for the Protagonist to find''.

** Even with the deeper meaning of the Avenger Class discovered, destructive monsters that serve a purpose ''are still destructive monsters''; it's literally their job expose injustice as swiftly and brutally as possible, and ''not'' doing this damages their Saint Graphs.

* AngstWhatAngst: {{Defied|Trope}}. One of Dantès' reasons for creating the Singularity is so the Protagonist can finally address the fact that ''they are not okay'', manufacturing a journey into their BlackBugRoom as the capstone of the chapter so they can finally address the trauma of their long journey in a controlled environment.

* BlackBugRoom: Id is the Protagonist's own Black Bug Room turned into a Singularity. On the surface it looks like a HappyPlace at first, but it hides the Bug Room (within the Protagonist's own house, no less) that takes the form of a long, winding stairwell into the darkness where Dantès does his work of burning away the Protagonist's trauma and mental interference.

* ArcHero: Jeanne Alter, the game's [[invoked]]EnsembleDarkhorse of the Avenger Class, gets the spotlight for the first time in a long time.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Several Avengers are PutOnABus and officially gone from the story. This is especially gut-wrenching in regards to Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Edmond Dantès who have been with us since the first year of the game, the former being a massive [[invoked]]Ensemble Darkhorse who owes her very existence to Chaldea in some ways, and the latter having a well-established hand in the main plot as our protector from mental attacks.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Complex Breaththrough, and the accompanying Human Order Foundation increase from D to C, canonically take place after Dantès has been defeated. But the animations for them only happen after the player has fully completed the chapter as usual.
