    the enemies are not really that big, They're just Raiders or Bandits, but the worst part of this event is babysitting the civilians.

    The whole OST of Hortus De Escapismo is so good, can't wait for next Laterano event! It's probably going to be the craziest in terms of music, I bet everything I own on this!

      Yeah, Laterano! They started with great Guide Ahead OST (with boss "Martyr"), continued with great Hortus OST, now we wait for third great OST!

      i hope it ties in with the seaborn plotline since it was teased in hortus with aulus and. there was some speculation with us getting a thorns alter and that'd probably fit with an event that ties the laterano/seaborn plotlines together

    tbh the thing about this boss is that you don't actually fight him. He's basically a normal civilian guy who's leading the other civilians and himself to their deaths and you have to protect them until he's gone
    the story of the event, though, it goes hard: a group of the angel race and the demon race (and a few regular animal-people) are living in peace in a ruined monastery when an emotionless angel (+2 others) is sent to follow up on a previous group's investigation. One civilian angel gets her gun repaired by one of the investigators, ends up accidentally shooting and killing her best friend, the people start panicking and turning on each other the main investigator tries to figure out why the emotions are flaring and relevant, another one calls for backup with the intent on massacring every demonic civilian, the civilians confront racism and how half their population won't be allowed in the angel town for asylum, a Borg-like sea monster hivemind tries invading the place, the priest plans on burning down the entire monastery during a service because years ago he and others there let people die by turning them away, things fall apart, self-sacrifice happens, and then...
    ...the boss, a simple gardener, confronts the emotionless angel about why things ended up this way as he (the gardener) tries to blow everything up. The angel stops the explosion but is unable to stop the gardener's death, and...he actually does feel a pang of emotion for the first time in his life and it colors his outlook during the next event he shows up in.
    So, while the boss is technically just a civilian gardener who doesn't even fight (his enemy description is "Clement Dubois, the most ordinary gardener. What is held inside his hands is plain soil, but it is too infertile that the flowers that once grew here no longer bloom.") the actual boss of the story is discrimination and the tragedy of how unforgiving the universe is.

    still suggesting "the opening" boss theme from the babel event o: the lobby theme from the hortus event "不存在的樂園" is also very nice. it's a lot more calming
    the enemies from this event aren't super threatening. they're mostly bandits and wildlife (since the setting is mostly in a rundown church) but the main difficulty is keeping civilians alive, since they have a panic meter. they take damage over time and run around when it's full, and because they're in a rundown church, there are holes in the ground and debris (indiana jones rocks lol) falling from above
    the boss actually isn't much different. you can't fight him and he doesn't attack or anything, but he can manipulate civilians to certain areas of the stage
    also like the informational notes on the bottom left
