You really mean it when you say that my arm won't be active while I'm there? [asking his mun, Shirou flexes the arm that's completely wrapped in a red cloth. it'd taken some time to get used to it, going from practically dead to regaining feeling... it came with a rather hefty price though]

If I make it, I'll keep it on anyway. But it'll be nice to not have to worry about it for a while. As long as you're telling the truth when you say that time stops back home...

[for Emiya Shirou, that means he'll still have time to save her. yet he can't shake off a tension that had yet to leave him since the Holy Grail War first began. always left on edge. always avoiding death even when he was supposed to forget]

Wait... I'm supposed to wear a collar? What for? [and somebody's mun didn't explain to Shirou what happened on the island.

3... 2... 1...]

W-WHAT?! That's how I'm supposed to loosen it?!

[this was dangerous. that much he knew. but what would telling Kirei the future do? could that potentially ruin the past? would it cause a paradox? this confrontation was already doing just that. for now though, he doesn't falter. in the future, Kotomine had told him everything anyway]

Yeah. He raised me as his son after the the end of the last war. [with that out in the open,] Are you fighting my father for the Holy Grail now?

[rejoicing]

[How strange. Why would a man like Kiritsugu raise a child as his? Isn't...]

My Servant was the first one defeated. I do not have the rights of Master anymore. [ He has the command spells, however...] Even so, I would like to meet your... father. I did not participate in this war to win the Holy Grail. I would prefer if my teacher succeeds.

[he knows that Kotomine isn't the kind of person who would lie. after all, near the beginning of the war, Shirou had straight-up asked Kotomine about his father and received a rather lengthy explaination]

I see. [it's hard for Shirou to think of what else to say. what could he say?]
