Oh good, you're awake.
How are you feeling? Anything hurting?
I know that's a weird question to ask a Heroic Spirit, but still.
Saber cut it down. The Ritual is over.
...I see.
I'm sorry. This was all my fault.
It was my own twisted convictions that nearly destroyed the world.
Now that the Tree of Emptiness is gone, it's only a matter of time before this Edo follows suit.
However, it looks like we still have some time before that happens.
So please, relax and enjoy yourself while you can.
It's all over now.
Yeah?
Why did you save me?
I didn't. Saber and Fujimaru did.
I just helped a bit.
Make sure to thank them. They nearly killed themselves trying to save you.
That was foolish of them. One wrong move, and the world would have ended.
You're right. It was foolish.
But it was also the right thing to do.
...Iori?
Yeah. It probably wasn't.
I'm sure I had a wish of my own, once.
...But that's all over now.
Are you going, Yui?
Saber. Lord Iori. Lord Fujimaru.
Is it time?
It does look like everyone else has left, so.
Even Gramps went back to sleep. ...Maybe he went on ahead, too.
I've been trapped here for a very long time...but now, that time is finally coming to an end.
...I'm sorry.
I made an unspeakable mistake. I can never hope to atone for
...No. That's not right.
What I truly wish to say... What I should be saying, is...
...thank you. Thank you for saving me.
...Yui.
...Yui Shousetsu.
This may not mean much coming from me, since I still don't remember anything, but...
...I think your wish for a truly equitable society is beautiful.
Even if...I can't begin to imagine it.
The Holy Grail!
...The Waxing Moon.
...
Even as a Heroic Spirit, I will continue to hold on to this wish.
I may lose myself in my obsessions again. I may fall for Rider's sweet deceptions once more.
Perhaps making trouble like that is just an intrinsic part of who I am.
But, if that should happen...
I'll stop you as many times as it takes.
I'll be there to save you whenever you need.
？！
...
Yes... Everything will be all right. I know that now.
Even if the answer I seek is still far away...I will keep trying to reach it...
Once you retrieve that Holy Grail, this operation will be well and truly over.
Go on, Fujimaru.
(...)
(So this is the Waxing Moon...)
(The Waxing Moon I once...)
...Iori.
Iori?
Is something wrong?
(My wish... It was...)
...Iori.
...
Thanks!
I couldn't have done this without you!
...What is it, Saber? You look really out of it.
I really don't get you.
...I'd lost something.
Whatever that something is, I think it was important. Integral. Something that shaped me into who I am now.
And now, it's all been scraped away, leaving me hollowed out. Empty.
I feel like a discarded husk, left to rot by the roadside.
I have no passion. No grief. No pain. I don't even feel a hint of loneliness.
All I have is the moonlight filling the hollow where my heart used to
No... That's not right.
I think I WAS fulfilled. I think my wish did come true.
I think I lived exactly the life I wanted to...which is why I don't have anything more to wish for.
One lifelong dream coming true is more than enough.
...That said.
If, somehow, I still had another wish somewhere in this Heroic Spirit body...
...I think it would be that my friend
Huh? Where'd Iori go?
Maybe he already...
