[Action]

[So that's what happened. Shirou had heard a bit about it from Rin, but...it was something entirely different to see it for oneself.

For most of the day, when you see Shirou, you may notice that he is oddly subdued, and much more pensive than normal. He'll spend most of the day in his apartment, but during the afternoon he's going on a long walk to see if that will help clear his head.]

[Audio; locked to Rin]

Do you have time? I'd like to talk to you. In person.

[[2% spent on Ilya's death and its aftermath.]]

[wontdieifkilled]

Then why would you suddenly show up from a hiding spot and stop him from killing me?

action;

[gandere]

Because you were stupid and attacked someone you shouldn't have! Just like I'd stop someone else here from killing you if they tried!

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

So...you really care about me that much?

action;

[gandere]

Wha-? [ Hold on, torn between screaming and blushing. ] I didn't say anything like that.

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

[She's not the only one blushing.]

But. But you're willing to risk your safety for me.

action;

[gandere]

And you're willing to risk your safety for me!

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

But I have a reason for that!

action;

[gandere]

Then what's your reason?

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

It's because of my father. Didn't I tell you already?

action;

[gandere]

Then maybe I'm doing the same thing! I might have known him since we're from the same world!

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

That would be hard to do, getting to know him. He spent tons of time out of the country.

action;

[gandere]

Maybe I traveled with him. Who knows? I could be related to you and that's why I feel this way towards you!

action;

[wontdieifkilled]

If he could have taken a kid along, he'd have taken me.

...Wait, feel what way?

action;

[gandere]

Maybe I was the more responsible one.

[ Pffthahhahahahahahahahaha. ]

The way I do. Haven't you noticed it yourself?

[ Irisviel is out, feeding a stray dog when she notices Shirou approaching close.

She was going to yell him and invite him to play with this new dog when she noticed his aura, wondering if something bad happened.

So, she stands up and walks a bit closer. ]

Shirou, good evening.

action

[wontdieifkilled]

...Huh?

[Shirou had been lost in his thoughts. But when Irisviel went over to greet him, they were pushed back a bit.

...Only to be brought back out.

The girl who died...looked a lot like the woman before him. Could that have been her daughter?]

...Oh. Hey. How are you?

action

[thevesselofhiswish]

I am fine, I was feeding this stray dog. Everyone didn't notice how hungry she was.

[ She gestures to the pretty brown dog next to her. ]

Is there something bothering you...? You do not look well.

action

[wontdieifkilled]

Oh. Well, um...

[How to do this...he doesn't want to tell her that her daughter might be dead...]

I just got a bad memory back. I've been thinking about it ever since.

action

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ She watches him for a bit, figuring it out that it might be difficult for him to speak like that. ]

Ah, I see. Why don't we share a nice cup of tea and I help you in all I can to organize your thoughts?

action

[wontdieifkilled]

Um...

[The offer is really, really tempting. However, he still doesn't want to reveal that the girl who died might be Irisviel's daughter. Maybe if he's careful...]

...All right. Are there any tea shops around here?

action

[thevesselofhiswish]

There is one. The owner is really nice, we have chatted a few times. [ She gently takes his hand to lead the way with a sweet smile. ] This way, Shirou.

action

[wontdieifkilled]

[Shirou lets her take his hand. Not like he's going to complain about something like that happening.]

How far is it?

action

[thevesselofhiswish]

One or two blocks away from here. [ Iri replied cheerful. ] We should be there soon.

action

[wontdieifkilled]

Oh, okay.

[And he lets himself be led.]

You've gotten to know the city, huh?

action

[thevesselofhiswish]

I remembered what you showed me, so I could always find my way back to the suites. I wanted to see what else I could learn from it as well.
