[Shirou's sitting on floor trying to sort the situation out in his mind. There's no more options for him left and now he has to tell Sakura what's bothering him. So much for keeping things to himself. He probably should have told her everything sooner. Woops.]

I give up. [ He puts his hand to his head and sighs.] I promised I'd tell you what's going on.

Sakura, are you ready to listen to me? You aren't going to like this.

[ Here goes nothing.]

[They're happy regardless of how much they've suffered in the past. Shirou's only looking forward now. He feels slightly stupid for keeping this from Sakura. She's here to support him and he's still thinks that he's being a burden on her. That really isn't the case so why was he so worried? ]

That's true. [He smiles and looks up at her fondly.]

Even so, I don't regret following this path. Archer might be Archer but I'm still me. I promise you that I won't turn out to become like that guy.

[springful]

You better not. If you turn out to become like him, I'll get really mad.

[She says it lightly though, teasing. There's definitely no way Shirou could turn into Archer, not even slightly. He won't let it happen, and she definitely won't let it happen either.]

[projections]

I won't ever let it come to that. Archer wanted to tell me that there are consequences to my actions. I know what lies at the end of his road.

We need to listen to his warnings.

I'll listen to Archer except I don't want to fight with him if it means you'll get involved. [He'll come up with some sort of plan to prevent this from happening in the future.]

I've decided that I'll speak with him.

[springful]

It'd be better if you two just didn't fight to begin with... [If Shirou ends up in trouble, it's natural that she'd be there to support him. She's more worried about Shirou than herself in this.] Will you be alright talking to him?

[projections]

I'll be fine. [He says so with confidence. This is what actually happens instead.]

I'm making you worry again, that's not good. [PULL YOUR SHIT TOGETHER SHIROU. He spanks himself once.]

Everything will be resolved once and for all, I'll swear on it. [He sighs and finally relaxes.] It's been a rough day. I'll speak with Archer some other time.

...

Are you tired, Sakura? You don't need to push yourself so hard. This is my problem with Archer.

[springful]

[Shirou.... At least he tried I guess................]

I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. [Yeah you'd never guess there's a ghost drooling on her from how she's acting. The slight numbing sensation?? NOT EVEN A PROBLEM.] What about you though? You must be exhausted.

[projections]

Are you sure? [It's not like he can see what's going on.]

You can speak to me anytime you have a problem. [No need to question Sakura again if she says she's fine.]

When you bring it up like that...yeah, maybe. I'm tired. [He's being honest. Sepai can't hide everything smh. ]

I fought a Servant without my sight. I might be in worse condition if you hadn't stopped me.

[springful]

I know. If something comes up, I'll be sure to tell you.

[Maybe she would tell him about something like a weird saliva ghost another time, (spoilers: probably not still) but Shirou already has a lot on his plate. There's no need to worry him with even more things, right? That being her mindset, she decides to not mention a thing about it.]

Honestly, I can't imagine what you were thinking getting into a fight like that. If you need to get something from outside, just tell me; it wouldn't do us any good if you got lost as you are now. [Seriously what was he even doing outside... Senpai needs to take better care of himself!!] You should get some rest. I'll take care of dinner, so you can relax until then.

[projections]

I'd appreciate it. I'd be a failure of a Senpai if I can't even take care of you. [Well...guess what Shirou.....spoilers: shes got a ghost on her too.]

Archer made me angry and you can imagine how it went from there. [She knows him by now tbh. Shirou's worst enemy is himself.]

There's that and I thought staying put wouldn't get me anywhere. Blindness doesn't slow me down that much, but if you insist. I'll stay put this time and leave you in charge of dinner.

[springful]

Don't worry so much. You're already the best senpai possible to me. [Sakura that's because you're biased... With good reason but still biased.]

You're right. It's all too easy to picture. [a small sigh] Hopefully this won't happen again in the future after you talk to him... For now, just take a seat and wait. [He can't see her of course, but he can probably tell by the sound that she's putting on her apron.] I'll make tonight's dinner one of my best yet!

[projections]

I'll try my best and relax. Sorry for not being able to help out more.

In my current state I'd have a hard time recognizing which ingredients are which. [In other words, you're useless.] And I don't want to break any plates.

I'll leave dinner to you and knowing you're making it puts me at ease. It'll be worth waiting for.

[Shirou stretches his arms and flops down somewhere. ]
