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?!

It's necessary to sacrifice personal feelings for survival.

[traceon]

In some cases, yeah.

[timeywimeymagus]

Have you found another way?

[traceon]

[in a way...no. or rather, Shirou has yet to reach that 'way' that Kiritsugu speaks of. he'll reach it at the cost of his own survival if it means he can save Sakura. that's all that matters to Shirou in the moment he'd come from]

I'm going to.
