Thirty-Fourth Projection

[wontdieifkilled]

[Audio; Action for Violet City]

[Now that the weather has cleared up, Shirou is outside and laying down on the grass, near the pond on the northern edge of town. After thinking for a while, he decides to muse a bit.]

You know...I've never had a mother figure before. I don't remember my birth mother. I had a father figure and a big sister figure, but that was all I had growing up. I used to try to ignore this day when it came, because there was no point in observing it and there was no point in dwelling on it.

So to finally get one now...it's strange. It just feels different. I'm eighteen years old -- though I guess I'm still seventeen back home -- and now I have someone who I should have had all my life.

Well, better late than never, I guess.

Hey, I sent you a package. Did you get it yet?

[Said package is a brand new umbrella. It's pure white, with silver trim, and it's high-quality.]

[Lancer didn't say anything for a minute, leaning his head on his hand with a bored look.]

...Had one mother, two fathers, and a friend close as a brother. Of all of them, I haven't seen my mother since I was younger than you.

What's got you on a subject like that?

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Parents and things like them are overrated.

Um, Shirou, it is nice to see you speaking this way of her, but why have you made your feelings so public?

[ Saber's exhaustion might be easy to pick up on either through her voice or the fact she's clever enough to stick to the audio call. ]

You are eighteen years of age as well? I knew I was your elder, but I did not know you had become a man.

This world's the first place I got the feeling of what having a mother must be like, too. I think it's pretty nice.

And you elected to share this with the populace at large why?

[If he sounds a little grumpy, well the guy just trekked the last three days through that storm to finally reach the Violet (because he's semi-nuts and very convinced of his own strength) so it's probably understandable. Also, though he has the video option on, it's recording his surroundings, namely the entrance to the city, rather than his face.]

Is today some sort of occasion for reflecting on family matters in this world?

[As Shirou talks, he might notice the sound of someone walking up next to him. Sakura stays silent while he records the video, and when he's finished, she takes a seat next to him. She's been a little mellower, since the incident with Kariya when they were trying to clean the city up, and today is no different.]

Is it bad? The feeling you have now?

Better late than never, yes.

Was she how you expected her to be?

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

Don't remember mine either. But I had a father figure. And there is my younger brother.

[Is it really okay to ask, he wonders... whatever, biting the bullet.]

What's it like now that you have one?

[Audio]

[usedcharm]

You're very lucky.

I know it can't make up for those earlier years, but at least you can do something about it now, right?

[She sounds beyond wistful at this point. The memories she has left of her own mother are beyond hazy at this point worn away by years and GF use.]

Yes, it was really nice of you to give me something for this day.

[ She does smile sweetly to him. ]
