Your heart is stuck in your throat the the entirety of the time you make your way to the Einzbern estate. You’re on your way to find Rin, that is all. You’d been her guardian for a while, her care passed on to you, though still legally being Kotomine’s responsibility.

For whatever reason, at the start of this Grail War, you as well had been given command seals, though no servant ever came.

You skip and jump over the rubble as you race into the building, ignoring Saber’s voice along with the swords of archer and Shirou clashing together. You go down the stairs, darting to the side when you see Shinji and his pathetic screaming voice.

When you get down to the room, you see Lancer untying Rin, much to your delight. Until he passed out on the ground.

You move to help Rin up, her utters of disapproval going unheard as you do.

“Heeeey, there’s that pretty guardian of yours,” Lancer coos, though he looks pretty banged up. You wonder how he even has the energy to speech such words.
