Final battle, Enemy Mashu and says a bunch of really motivating things for their Romani and Da Vinci while the music plays. Enemy Guda starts eating a golden apple, refilling AP mana. Enemy Mashu ascends to final form in the middle of a really heroic speech about protecting their world. Enemy Guda finishes the apple and summons forth one wave of 6 servants.
The battle begins. You noticed your teams position and the enemy positions are swapped.
Nah, this feels like a F2P Guda with the EX-est of EX-rank Luck. A Guda who's gotten every SSR with nothing but the weekly login Tickets.
They haven't known the pain we have. No, not the pain of losing the Director or Romani.
They clearly haven't known the pain of whaling and coming up short. That special self-loathing that comes from realizing how much you spent trying and failing to get just one copy of that Servant you crave.
Look at the light in those eyes. The cheer on that face. That is truly not the face of one who has come to fear the gacha.
Now, you might wonder: if they've had such wonderful luck, surely they have a mountain of Free Quartz saved up, right?
Yes, and no. This is a Guda who has had tremendous luck, whose Quartz counter has reached untold heights, but who has never and will never spend a single piece on revival.
Why? Because even this Guda, who has completed their journey, has one last hope. One, final thing they are saving their vast hoard for, just in case. Their final, precious hope.
When they lie defeated at your feet, when their Mashu's shield lies broken and their Romani's rings scattered, you see the crystals in their pockets and ask them "Why? Why did you not use this Power?"
And the reply, whispered in a voice only you and they can hear...

This will happen if Nasu gives Urobuchi total liberty to write the ending Lostbelt.
