Looks like you're sending me to that place after all.  If this is pity, or something like giving me a second chance, I don't need it.  All I want is to finish what I set out to do.

...What?  Sakura's already there?  She's all right?

Still... I don't know if I deserve to see her again, after the things I've done.  Maybe I really have changed.  Become a monster like old man Zouken.  I can't even remember what it was like anymore, before all of this.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

...What?

[gandere]

You know she wouldn't like you to talk like that about yourself. I think she'd be happy to see you and really, you should just be as happy to unite with her. It isn't every day you get to see what someone's grown up to become after all.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Rin...

[He's pretty speechless here.]

...You've grown.

[gandere]

It's been a few years, hasn't it?

[ She bites down on her tongue to keep from calling him 'Uncle Kariya'. Girls her age should know better after all. ]

You've changed too, huh? That's to be expected of that time, but I'm not sure if I like it.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[It's way too late to hide from her now, but he pulls up his hood anyway to obscure his shameful face.]

It was the only choice I had left.

[gandere]

Why are you hiding yourself now? [ She doesn't realize she's said anything wrong as per the usual. ] As for it being the only choice... I understand that sentiment. I would say "I wish it could have been different", but that sort of naivete is childish.

[brokiomi]

That you dare to show your face after all that has transpired...

You are a brave but foolish man, Matou Kariya.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Tokiomi! What are you doing here?

[brokiomi]

Your mention of the same town I find myself trapped in drew me here. Nothing more.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Trapped?

[Kariya covers his face with his hand, laughing hysterically before launching into another brief coughing fit.]

So... even the Tohsaka's magic can't fight back against this place. How does it feel to be powerless to change things, Tokiomi?

[brokiomi]

I have come to accept the fact that escaping the town is currently not an option. The responsibility fell onto my daughter's shoulders when she inherited the Tohsaka family's Crest, and she has already informed me that we are stuck with no way out as of yet. Unlike you, Kariya, I have accepted things as they are.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You know Sakura?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

...I'm a friend of her mother's.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

He real mother?

Did she have an adoptive mother?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Right. Her real mother. She had an adoptive grandfather, but that's all.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, that guy.

You're not friends with him, right?

[answerer_sword]

Sakura? Do you mean Sakura Matou?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Do you know her?

[answerer_sword]

Yes, I do. What about you?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

How do you know her?

[mayitlastforeve]

I feel the same. I would like to be able to exist forever here. But if I cannot do what I need do it is meaningless.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

I don't care where I get sent after I've finished what I've started. All I want is to actually have that chance.

[mayitlastforeve]

...you should have more than that. If you can live, hope to live.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Heh.

[He smirks a little, shoulders drooping.]

I don't have long left. It's amazing I've made it this long. But maybe before I go, I can at least make things better for her.
