[Those of you in Azalea Town will have not seen Shirou -- or Rin -- all day. Come evening, you will find out why.]

To those who knew Rin Tohsaka: she disappeared again. She was sent back home.

I'm going to Blackthorn City to get the last badge in Johto. You can come with me, or I can buy you train passes so you can go to Saber's breeding center in Celadon City. I'll let you decide.

Yes. He took advantage of a moment in which the former Master wasn't capable of self-defense. But his Servant had his own code of honor.

Kotomine Kirei was a strong person; clever and resourceful, skilled in many areas. A fast learner. If the fourth War taught him anything, I have no doubt it was how to survive.

While I'm disappointed in my student for resorting to such things...if I'm honest, I can't say that I'm surprised.

He learned that pretty well. Some of the other things he did just to stay alive surprised me. I thought for sure Caster had killed him when she took control of the church.

Again, he always did show great resourcefulness.

You seem to know the outcome of the fourth Grail War, even if you don't know details. Am I to assume that Kirei was the victor?

[Again, it's the logical conclusion; at the same time, he needs to have it verified. He...simply does.]

There was no clear victor. The other remaining Master tried to destroy the Grail. Both Masters survived.

And who was this other remaining Master?

Saber's Master.
