[Room 3-05]

[As far as last moments go... Hakuno's really wasn't that bad. It was like drifting off to sleep... she had made her wish, and put an end to the Holy Grail War. She had helped Rin escape, and even managed to get a message out to her. Saber was even by her side the whole time. There was that dull throb in her chest, the pain of knowing that she was never going to see her friend or her beloved Servant ever again... but still. She was content.

So, of course, she was completely confused when consciousness slowly returned to her. She was... waking up? But she shouldn't be waking up now...]

Eh...?

[She doesn't really notice the sleep paralysis. Her mind is too busy whirling about a mile a minute - how is she here, what happened back home, is this the real world, what why how what why how - and it's only until it begins giving her a headache that she moves, sitting up in bed and just... staying there. She looks around, confusion clearly written on her face. Just what is going on...?]

[Floor Four]

[After passing many floors in various states of ruin (seriously, what in the world went on here?), Hakuno stopped to pause in one of the lounges. Her face is practically pressed to the glass of the windows, trying to peer out into the nothingness beyond.]

It's so different... there's no way this could be the Moon Cell...

[Cafeteria]

[Hakuno is, more or less, miserable by this point. It's really sinking in that this isn't some fading dream she's stuck in while being deleted. She should be celebrating... that she's out of the Moon Cell, that she's real and alive, but...

She's all alone now. No Rin. No Saber. She had met some people before, so technically she wasn't alone... but the precious friends she bonded so closely with were gone. For someone whose existence was more or less nothing without those two people... it hurt.

It hurt so badly that her appetite wasn't there at all. She's currently sitting at an empty table, head pillowed on her crossed arms, with an untouched bowl of oatmeal in front of her.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The weird thing about Assassin is that... he's nothing like his Master. He seems like he could be a pretty okay guy, if it wasn't for the fact that it was his job to kill people. So, though she still looked a bit cautious... she wants to believe him.

She sighs.] There's no more Holy Grail anyway, so even if you wanted to, it would be pointless to fight.

[Unless revenge was a thing for him, of course.]

[ Revenge was a interesting topic for him. While it was known that in his time, when he looked like he does now, he would do anything for revenge, time taught him that it would be pointless in some situations. And in the end, he was nothing but consumed by the revenge and hatred of those who were left behind from his murders. ]

I have no Master to serve but my own self, yet I would never say that any life is pointless. [ He let's out a small chuckle. ] One fights for many reasons after all, but this case is truly different. [ He speaks bro. ]

We are walking the same path now, little one. We might have been enemies once, but not here.

[That actually... gets her to smile. She knew a lot of the Servants and Masters she fought - and this must have extended to the others who perished in the earlier rounds - were very different off the battlefield. Usually she only got to see glimpses of those sides of them during their final moments, as they were waiting to be deleted.]

... I guess I have to thank whoever's in charge of this place for that, then. [And then she actually laughs a little.] I still have no idea what this place is, or what's going on, but... I'm just glad I don't have to be forced into killing more people.

[ Li Shuwen itself is quite an interesting individual itself. Now that he's free of some of the chains of being a Servant, so this wasn't a chance that he would miss anyway. Being here with Hakuno is the only moment he can freely talk with someone he has faced before. A luxury he enjoys.

Despite that he can't be seen, it's clear that there's a smile on his face. ]

It was only a natural way to survive, yet you didn't stay off your path. It is clear that you do not have the desire for bloodlust. But, this place is far from being kind for what I have seen. The journey here have just started, but don't let your guard down, Hakuno.

... "From what you've seen"? Have you been here for a while?

[Her smile fades a little at that. This isn't some messed up afterlife, is it?]

I have not been here for too long. If I were to say, a few days but nothing more. [ His voice is calm. ]

It was only my later years that I would watch before doing anything, so I have been only observing for now, not too different from what I used to do on my own. Yet, I witnessed how creatures attacked this place without hesitation in a strange occurrence.

... Creatures? You mean like the ones inside the arena?

[... So she really hasn't gotten away from the fighting. Even so, it's... better. Better than having to fight real people.]
