"...I don't care."
"...About?"
"I don't care that they're dead. I really do not give a damn."
Saber shrugs her shoulders at me.
"No! Not this time you damn Hypocrit!"
"What?"
"You're always telling other people to just Move on. To just deal with it because you can't change your past. Well you know what Saber? YOU need to move on. They're dead. They're all GONE and DEAD and it's YOUR FAULT."
"...And?"
"...And? And!? And I'm Glad for it! I'm GLAD they're all DEAD! I'm GLAD that you got ALL of them killed because you were too stuck on being helpful! I'm GLAD they are DEAD. Because all of that let me meet you."
She smiles. I slap her face as hard as I can.
"Don't you Fucking dare smile at this! I'm sick of your crap all the time. Always have to do what's right in your head, even if it kills you. And you know what? It's really STUPID this time. You're being STUPID. If you SAVED those people, do you know how many THEY would have killed in wars? You might have even killed my family's roots by doing that!"
"Saylest, what you say could be true...But those circumstances are only in your head."
"Saber, what happens to me with your wish?"
"You've seen the results with the Overseer. You'll forget every detail about me, without any damage to yourself."
"So you'd deny my wish then. What if I wished only to have you by my side, or to remember you? How badly do you think I could break the grail with that kind of wish?"
"...Interesting words. I do not imagine there is much trouble with allowing you alone to remember, the planet will most likely simply treat it as your own delusions of what happened."
"And if I wish that you'd stay with me?"
"I doubt the grail would allow you to prevent me from using it."
"Who said that? I didn't say your wish didn't have to come true, I said what if I forced the grail to keep you with me in spite of it."
Saber's face pops in surprise and I regather my composure. I apparently lost my breath in the midst of that as well.
"...You may be on to something..."
Her chin rests in her hand...and she walks to a window.
Servant Relationship+3: LV5(23/35)



"...What?"
"Saylest, you may actually...have the right idea. Or atleast, the best one for both our wishes."
"...What do you think would happen?"
"I don't know. There are many ways for that to be taken. For example, the most simple route would be to create a Clone of me in the past that takes care of my wish while I remain in the present. Though I don't know how stable my existence would be with the timeline changing that radically for who I am."
"And...the less simple route?"
"...The less simplistic option is that...Perhaps I am not needed. I do not want the glory of saving the kingdom, I just want it to be saved...Effectively, it does not need to be me that saves it."
"...You don't like that though."
"I do not. I do not trust that the person the grail chooses to save my kingdom...would be sufficient in the long-term. That he would not be corrupted as well."
"...Do you have to save them at all? I mean it...is it worth the risk that you'll be gone?"
"...I am altogether unsure..."
Saber presses her hand against the window overlooking the street.
"...And if I change that history...I may be weaker here and now, or different, we may no longer care for one another..."
"Are you...afraid?"
I step up to the glass next to her. There's such a busy street down there.
"I am afraid of Heights. I suppose most wouldn't notice it, even I do my best to forget it. When I am in the air, a fear grabs me that says I will continue falling forever. That is fear. What I feel for us is...terror."
"...I'm glad I terrify you...I guess..."
"...My head is not clear. I do not know how the new few days will proceed, but I should not fight in this condition."
"...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"Do you regret it?"
"...Honestly? No. I'm a little happy you're terrified of losing me. If you're conflicted, it means I still have a shot."
"I...suppose you do. Saylest, we must not fight until I am certain where we stand on this matter. These thoughts will haunt me until then, and I would not risk a battle on such terms."
"So let's keep talking til you're ready."
"You have already said much. I need to think now...Please leave me in this room for awhile."
"Alright...I'll call my mother. That should give you some time to think, right?"
"Do that."
She keeps staring out the window as I leave the room.
I know this is a sign that I might be changing her mind, but it's...terrifying to think she might still refuse me. There are a lot of ways I let her have her way, to do as she pleases, to dominate me on almost any subject. But this has to be the one time I am the Master. This has to be the one time I definitely beat Saber.








---Day 12, 12:15PM---
At last, the phone answers and the sound of my Mother's voice comes on...And then my brain fails on me.
I forgot to decide what I'm going to tell her!
