So today was El Dia De Reyes, or "Epiphany" for those of you who don't speak Spanish. It was a pretty big deal for my family - more so than Christmas, though I'm not sure if the presents were always better. I remember my little sister would always bug me to write letters to the Wise Men, because my handwriting was supposedly better than hers. Supposedly because I really didn't see the difference...

... Hey, guys? I remember my family! Not all of my extended family, though my abuela seems pretty cool, but my mom and my dad and my kid sister too. Milagro was kind of annoying, but we usually got along whenever I had to babysit her, and my parents? Well, Dad owned his own car garage and Mom's a paramedic. We even went to go visit their parents in Mexico every summer!

It's kind of weird, knowing all of this now, but I'm kind of glad. It's... nice, in a way, to know that I won't be totally alone whenever I go back home.

[That was a bit of information to process, but first and foremost on Shirou's mind...]

Huh? Hey, you're back!

That I am. It's good to be back, even though I haven't exactly remembered how - or why - I left in the first place.

Sorry, I...completely missed it, somehow. When did you get back?

About a month ago, I think. And it's completely fine, man, I've been keeping a low profile the whole time.

Oh. Well, then I feel less bad, then.

It's good that you've remembered your family, too. That's always a nice feeling.

It is, isn't it? I was really happy when I remembered my family! Yours seems really nice, too.

Yeah. I can't say for sure if they were, since I've only got bits and pieces, but... I'm glad that we're not alone.

I wonder where they are now. I hope they're happy.

I think they are. Or well, we've just gotta keep hoping they will be.

Do you think they forget us too, when we come here? Otherwise it'd be a lot of trouble for everyone else...

El Dia de Reyes, huh?

Never heard of it.

It's supposedly semi-common where I'm from. Maybe your world doesn't have Christianity?

No, it definitely does. Just never heard of that holiday. It's Mexican, right?

....

El Dia De Reyes is just the Spanish name for "Epiphany." I'm pretty sure that's a... Middle Eastern? Russian? Whatever, it's a worldwide holiday.

Seriously? That makes no sense! I mean, "El Dia de Reyes" just means "the day of kings"!

Happy Epiphany, I guess. Don't think I've ever heard of that one before. Sounds like you got a pretty good present for it, though.

Well, you are from the future. Epiphany probably went out of style by then!

... Yeah, I don't think I could've asked for anything better.

Can holidays even go out of style? I don't think I've had any trouble recognizing any other holidays that've happened since I got here. Then again, it's all been pretty secular stuff, "Epiphany" sounds like it's probably religious.

It is, actually. I know some religions get less popular over time, so maybe Christianity isn't that popular in the future.

Well, I'm definitely not Christian. But I have no idea how its popularity compares between my time period and yours.

Sounds like you remembered some really nice stuff.

Yeah. I really couldn't have asked for a better present.

I'm happy for you.

I kinda wish I could remember my family...

It'll come eventually. In the meantime, well... you've got friends like us, right? It's not the same, but we can try.

And I remembered some sweet gun moves!

...Thanks. I appreciate it.
