Thank you for thinking of me, Mun, even though I'm not your usual "type"... there's still so much of the outside world I want to see. With Kiritsugu and Ilya, and Saber too. If I have the chance, then I should take it, shouldn't I?

[Illya rubs her eyes in disbelief.]

Mommy...?!

[ideal]

[ well, you've gotten a little bigger since the last time she saw you, ilya! she can hardly believe her eyes either. ]

I-Ilya... is that really you?

[eighteen_winters]

[Illya, completely wrapped up in the moment, hugs her mother and refuses to let go. Nothing in all the world could make her happier then she is in the present moment.]

It's me, mom...

[ideal]

[ iri returns it with an even stronger embrace—it doesn't matter that ilya's inexplicably older and bigger, there's no doubt in her mind that this is her daughter she's been longing to see again. ]

Ah, Ilya... when did you get so big? I know Mommy and Kiritsugu have been gone for a long time, but not that long...

[eighteen_winters]

[Tears begin to roll down her pale face. It had been a long time, far to long for a girl as young as Illya was.]

It's been 10 years, mommy...

[ideal]

[ well, she always knew ilya wouldn't grow like a normal girl, but still, she hadn't expected that to be her answer. ten years—for iri, it's only been a matter of weeks. she rests her hands on ilya's shoulders, holding back her own emotions for ilya's sake. ]

Ten years... but that's... [ impossible, she thinks ] You mean it's been ten years since you've seen me?

[ she was expecting her own death, but kiritsugu must have come back for her, victor of the war or not. ]

[eighteen_winters]

[Illya nods. Though it pains her to think about it again after so long, she didn't want to lie to her beloved mother.]

You and daddy never came back after the War ended.

[ideal]

Daddy should have come back for you. [ if he didn't, then that means they lost... right? ] He would never leave you behind on purpose.

[eighteen_winters]

[Illya nods in the negative.]

I know... He had his reasons for not coming back.
