[charaFace A 0] @Musashi Then, would you mind if I said something? I don't know how much consolation it'll be, but I have some thoughts I'd like to share. [k] [charaFace A 12] @Musashi I don't think we should think of the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters as their actual Heroic Spirits. [k] @Musashi I know we haven't taken the time to make sure we're on the same page about this, so I want to be clear: they're nothing more than walking corpses. [k] @Musashi I was convinced of that when we fought Lord Inshun.[sr]I think you should accept that too, if you can. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Musashi Especially now that you're going[sr]up against ones you know personally. [k] @Musashi ...Of course, I know that's easier said than done. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Fuuma Kotarou True... They do look and sound just[sr]like the Heroic Spirits we know... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Fuuma Kotarou But they're still completely different people.[sr]Master, I believe Lady Musashi is right. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou Besides, Heroic Spirits are essentially different people every time they are summoned as Servants anyway. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou Even if they retain their memories of[sr]the other times they've been summoned. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou There is no Heroic Spirit who is exactly the same person every time they are summoned. Rather, they're the same person, but one who is as different as possible. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou Maybe it would be more accurate to say that they are a completely different person who very closely resembles them each time. [k] ?1:...Yeah. The Heroic Spirits in Singularities... ?2:Chaldea's spirits are nothing like these, yes. ?! [charaFace B 4] @Fuuma Kotarou The dead don't come back to life.[sr]And they shouldn't. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Fuuma Kotarou But the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters... Well, as Lady Musashi said, they are corpses. In essence, they ARE the dead come back to life. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou They are beings born from dead Servants.[sr]From what I've been told about Lord Houzouin Inshun... [k] @Fuuma Kotarou ...it sounds like becoming a Swordmaster changes everything about them, not just their personalities. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Fuuma Kotarou So it is not like the principle that makes every Heroic Spirit essentially a different version of the same person. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou They may be close to the Servants you saw in Shinjuku, at least in the sense that their Spirit Origins differ from their natural state... [k] @Fuuma Kotarou But that was a phenomenon specific to Shinjuku, so... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Danzo ...[sr]...
