During the past week, when we were thinking differently, I told some people that I have a wife and children.

That isn't true, and I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I've never married, and I have no children. My apologies.

I still mean everything else I said.

I'm the one who cares about Sakura, and I'm going to save her.

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

And I still know the outcome of your attempts.

Text

[vermicompost]

You know the outcome in one world.

You should care more about Sakura. She must be suffering, in your world.

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

What makes you think I do not care? I will see Sakura's wish fulfilled as any Servant belonging to her should.

But you don't care that it's wrong, that she shouldn't be that way. She never should have gotten involved in the War. She's a sweet girl. She deserves a normal, happy life.

It does not matter if it is wrong. It is as it is. She does deserve those things, but those things can only be obtained by her own hands.

She has chosen otherwise and I honor her wishes. As I should.

It does matter. It's all Zouken's fault. He did that to her.

[He doesn't know exactly what's happening with Sakura in that world (which is obviously not his world), but he's been able to piece some things together based on what Saber and Illya have said.]

Her wishes can't be right if they're not really hers. If something was forced on her.

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

They are hers. She has killed Zouken Matou.

Text

[vermicompost]

Good. I'm glad he's dead. I would have killed him if I were strong enough.

[He doesn't like to think of Sakura killing anyone, but at least it's Zouken.]

But she's only that way because of what he did to her.

[And because he hadn't been able to stop it. In that world.]

[scorchedchivalry]

Enough. You speak in circles to no point. I am done.

[And she leaves the terminal, so no further responses will be coming.]
