[Audio]

[Shirou had his phone turned on. He was about to make a post, but...

...Then a memory surged back into his mind before his mind's eye.

A memory of a man, resting on the porch. A twelve-year-old Shirou with him. Talking about superheroes and ideals. The main failed to reach his ideal...so his son promised to take it up for him.

Those were the last words his father would ever hear from his son.]

He... He died... He's...dead...

[But he forgot that his phone was on.]

[gandere]

Who died?

[ Rin's unusually blunt today so her question is one without softness. In fact, she might just think he meant someone within this place. In that case, then they should do something about it, right? ]

[wontdieifkilled]

...Oops.

[Fumbling for the phone now.]

I forgot I had this on.

[There's an emptiness to his voice at the moment.]

audio; forever until otherwise

[gandere]

You weren't meaning to tell everyone someone was dead? Then what was the purpose of stating it out loud in the first place, Shirou?

[wontdieifkilled]

[He wasn't thinking. As usual. But like he's going to say that.]

What's wrong with someone talking to themselves?

[gandere]

It sounds crazy.

[ Says the girl on the path of becoming a crazy cat lady and all. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

I'm pretty sure it's a normal thing for people to do. But are you really interested in arguing about something this small?

[gandere]

Yes.

[ Does he really need to ask something so obvious? ]

[wontdieifkilled]

Well, I'm not.

[Sorry, Rin, but he isn't going to give you the pleasure. Not on this, at least.]

[gandere]

Then why haven't you hung up yet?

[all_onis_are_true]

You remembered someone dying?

[wontdieifkilled]

Yeah. I did.

[all_onis_are_true]

How... did that person die?

[wontdieifkilled]

...

Peacefully. It was an act of nature.

[That isn't true, but Shirou doesn't know that.]</small.

[all_onis_are_true]

Oh...

...

I was just curious, I guess.

*So it's not the same.*

[wontdieifkilled]

...Were you thinking about those things you were telling me about from your world?

[all_onis_are_true]

*Crap, was it that obvious?*

What makes you say that?

[wontdieifkilled]

You were really concerned about them when you told me about them.

[Video]

[healeveryone]

Huh? Who's dead?

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled]

...

My father.

[Video]

[healeveryone]

Oh...I'm sorry, Shirou. I understand if you don't want to talk about it more.

[wontdieifkilled]

...It's okay. If it helps me feel better, then I should get it off my chest.

[healeveryone]

Is that what you want, then? I don't want to just make you sad if it won't help.

[wontdieifkilled]

If I don't do anything, I feel like I'm going to burst. So I might as well do something, anything.

[healeveryone]

Oh!

[She really doesn't want anyone to feel that way.]

So...what happened?

[wontdieifkilled]

...It was peaceful. I was talking with him, and when our conversation ended, he just...went to sleep and never awoke.
