[The Cu Chulainn that appears in the feed is a far cry from his normal, cheerful self. His hair looks even more disheveled than it usually is. His eyes have narrowed into slits and vein are popping all over his face. And his spear is out for all to see.]

WHERE IS SHE?

[He screams into the monitor, slamming his fist down on the keyboard and shaking the entire terminal.]

WHERE IS AYAKA SAJYOU? WHICH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS TOOK HER? WHICH ONE OF YOU TOOK MY MASTER?

[He takes a deep breath before he screams again.]

AND WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKERS ERASED HER NAME ON HER DOOR AND MADE HER A GRAVE? GET THE FUCK OVER HERE AND I MIGHT LIMIT MYSELF TO BREAKING YOU IN HALF!

[He knows. He knows that these are usually indicators that people had left the Tower for good. But he doesn't want to admit it. If he does, it means he's failed his Master again...]

Lancer... Are you going to be ok?

[He has to take a couple of deep breaths so he wouldn't lash out at the child.]

Yeah...I'll be fine. Just worried about my Master.

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

Oh...

[Even though Illya could imagine that his master had been spirited away, just as her precious older brother had, it did no good to either of them to blurt that truth now.]

Do you need any help looking for her?

Re: [video]

[puppy_lancer]

Every floor where she could be. Can't find her.

[His fingers dig into the edge of the keyboard.]

And someone decided it was funny to make her a grave.

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

If she's still here that would be a joke made in horrible taste.

Re: [video]

[puppy_lancer]

Wouldn't it be? That's why the guy who made is gonna regret it.

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

...what will you do if she really is gone?

Re: [video]

[puppy_lancer]

...She can't be.

[His voice is very small, a marked difference from his screams a second ago.]

I'm not supposed to outlast her.

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

I wasn't supposed to outlive my big brother, either.

[puppy_lancer]

You weren't made just to accommodate him, were you?

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

No, I was made for a different reason.

[puppy_lancer]

Then your life isn't exactly connected to his. You know how us Servants work. We might as well as be trash if we can't protect our Masters.

Re: [video]

[eighteen_winters]

Don't you have any other reason to live?

[puppy_lancer]

I...

[It's tempting to say that he wants to live for himself. That he has friends he needs to protect. But as a Servant, his Master has to be his first priority.]

[Never mind the fact that he was so focused on her was because he didn't want a repeat of Misaya's tragedy.]

She was my main reason to exist.

[The main reason he can still hold his head high and call himself a hero.]
