[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.]

Maybe. But I probably should wait until I've remembered more, shouldn't I?

If that's how you feel about it.. I don't think waiting will help much though.

Why not?

Waiting for something to happen.. it seems as though it would just be a waste of time. If you want to remember something, you need to try every method you can to acquire it. I'm tired of waiting, so I'm going to hunt Anemoi non-stop until I remember everything!

I didn't mean that I was just going to sit around and wait. I'm going out to search for more anemoi, too. I meant waiting to see a doctor until I remember more.

If a doctor can provide you some better insight, don't you think it's a wasted resource to refrain from visiting with one?

But if I wait until I've earned more memories, wouldn't it help him out just by narrowing things down?

If that's what you think.. arguing about it won't make you think of it any faster or anything.

...Well...

I don't think I can just sit here and do nothing now that I've remembered this. I feel like I need to get up and get out of this room.

Are you asking me out on a date then?

Whoa, wait, what?!

Is this phone acting up or something?

Wh-what are you talking about?

I just asked you a question and you didn't understand. It must be because of this stupid phone.

N-no, I heard it! I just. That was...surprising.

You heard..? [ And chose to ignore it? While normally she would tease back just as hard, her reaction is different. ] F-Forget it! Let's just talk about something else!

[Uh-oh. Was that a mistake? Time for damage control!]

W-well, if that's what you want to do, I'd take you out!

What makes you think I want to go out with you?!

W-well, then why did you ask?!

So I could t-tease you, that's all! Why else would I have asked!? It wasn't as though I was expecting you to say yes and then take me out to see that latest romance film! Because that's stupid and I really thought better of you, Shirou.

Wait a second, you were just toying with me? Even after this?!

[ She did just say what she wanted, Shirou. ]

Geez, forget it, forget it! You have no idea on how to relax, do you?

Well, what do you expect after I remember something like...that?

That going out with a pretty girl would be a nice distraction. That's what.

...

And I said that if you wanted to, it'd be okay with me. What's the problem?
