[k] @ Then I guess it's finally my turn next.[sr]Let me tell you a little secret. [k] @ I regained my memories after[sr]I was rescued from that cage... [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_129 0.1] @ ...but I don't think it was all that[sr]long ago that I became a Servant. [k] @ After all, I originally had horns. [k] @ I felt like I could do anything, and in fact, I could. [k] @ Most recently, I noticed an interesting Singularity in my homeland... [k] @ ...so I manifested there to enjoy a vacation of sorts, before the Chaldeans came to investigate. [k] @ But then, I was taken by surprise and killed. [k] @ I ought to have known better. Simply going along with whatever is fun is the kind of shortsighted mistake my grown-up self would make. [k] @ Anyway, my body was then torn into pieces, and I used the last of my power to retreat here, to the bottom of the sea. [k] @ With my nicely rounded out Spirit Origin gone,[sr]I was destined to disappear like so much sea-foam.

[k] @ With nothing more than a fervent refusal not to disappear here, I managed to move my practically lifeless body. [k] @ I gathered nourishment at the bottom of the deep sea, and reemerged once my Spirit Origin had recovered. [k] @ Why was I so adamant about not disappearing?[sr]To take revenge on the woman who killed me? [k] [charaFace B 1] @ Of course not. If anything, I'm grateful to her.[sr]Never before had I had an experience quite like that♡ [k] [charaFace B 4] @ No, my concern was solely for the Chaldeans. I had to do something, or they would surely suffer the same fate as me. [k] @ And I simply couldn't let them have all the fun.[sr]So I swam without rest for several days... [k] [charaFace B 0] @ ...and made it back to this Singularity. I never could have done it without the mermaid I met in the sea. [k] @ Not only did eating her flesh help me recover my strength; it also made me immortal, just like the legends said. [k] @ Now that I no longer feared the curse of death, I defeated my killer and assumed control over half the mountain. [k] @ And so I also became the only being who may come and go between both sides of the mountain as she pleased. [k] [charaFace B 1] @ That put an end to all my worries.[sr]I was ready to greet the Chaldeans on their arrival. [k] @ Whether I wound up as a good woman or a bad one would be entirely up to fate. [k] @ I would make the most of the situation, whatever it may be, and satisfy my own desires into the bargain. [k] [charaFace B 0] @ But then, while I was waiting, I had a thought: [k] [charaFace B 7] @ “There must be a way to make this more exciting. I know! Since I'm out in the mountains now, I think I'll try getting in touch with my inner child once again!” [k] @ And as they say, well, there's no[sr]time like the present, right? [k] [charaFace B 0] @ So I made a decision. I sealed my memories away and elected to enjoy the summer as my younger, blissfully ignorant self. [k] @ Of course, now that I ruled half the mountain, the fact remained that this Singularity still belonged to me. [k] @ So unless and until the Chaldeans defeat me,[sr]they'll never learn the truth about this Singularity. [k] [charaFace B 24] @ Hehehe.[sr]Know no fear, know no fear.

[k] @Sigurd We've all been working to get to[sr]the bottom of this Singularity. [k] @Sigurd And from what those of you from Side A have told us,[sr]I don't believe our methods were faulty.

[k] [charaFace E 5] @Tomoe Gozen Militarily speaking, being a third party situated between two opposing forces is an ideal position. [k] @Tomoe Gozen All they would need to do is wait for their enemies to weaken each other, and they could swoop in and eliminate both when the time was right. [k] @Tomoe Gozen In fact, playing two opposing forces off one another is arguably one of the best ways to wage war. [k] @Tomoe Gozen Of course, doing so successfully requires exceptional skill, and the patience to wait for the right time. [k] [charaFace E 2] @Tomoe Gozen After all, if you play your cards wrong, you may find yourself staring down the spear tips of both the other factions! [k] @Tomoe Gozen That is why it is crucial to make your move just before the other opposing forces settle their score!

[k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 12] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Abigail That's right. [k] @Abigail I know that lazy, greedy woman was up to something on Side B[line 2]that is, this side of the lake. [k] @Abigail Dreams and illusions...[sr]Life and death... [k] [charaFace I 13] @Abigail Even though we were doing the same things,[sr]something was still fundamentally off. [k] @Abigail Something the complete opposite of how this Singularity is meant to be. It's creepy, and wrong. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sigurd I see. [k] [charaFace C 10] @Sigurd So while that fake [%1] appeared to be working to resolve this Singularity on Side B... [k] @Sigurd ...[&she:he] was actually trying to determine[sr]who Sessyoin Lily truly is. [k] @Sigurd Still, I suppose I can't blame [&her:him],[sr]since Sessyoin is so clearly abnormal. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Sigurd [&She:He] must have thought that working with us after we[sr]Rayshifted here would be the quickest way to figure her out. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Abigail That's all I can tell you. [k] @Abigail I might have formed a contract with [%1],[sr]but the role I play in this Singularity is still a serial killer. [k] @Abigail So I'm afraid I simply can't give you any more hints.

[charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sigurd All right, I think it would be best[sr]if we remain in our separate groups. [k] @Sigurd One group can focus on finding Mash, while the other can look for Sessyoin and take her down. [k] @Sigurd I think we should keep the group divisions as they are. What do you all think? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Emiya Fine by me.[sr]In that case, we'll focus on finding Mash. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sigurd Understood. Then we'll look for Sessyoin. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Emiya Master, I think it'd be best if you went with Sigurd's team for now. [k] @Emiya I'm guessing they'll need your help more than we will,[sr]since they'll probably be fighting a lot of battles. [k] ?1:... ?! [charaFace H 1] @Emiya Don't worry. We've got plenty of talent on our side, too. [k] @Emiya We'll contact you as soon as we know where Mash[sr]is and rendezvous before going to find her. [k] ?1:All right. I'm counting on you guys.
