[It's the 'What If?' virus time for Archer, and in this situation, he's killed Shirou.]

This is quite odd... though I suppose it is a subject that can be brought up upon the community. I should not currently be existing... and for this, I will not apologize to you Issei but I will inform you. The one you know as Emiya Shirou is dead.

...

Is he really?

Yes...

[There might be a slight hint of regret there. I mean, he thought killing Shirou would fix everything... but perhaps it had an adverse effect.]

...You killed him.

Yes.

I know why you did it. I'm not sure how much that matters to me.

I do not recall ever telling you what my reasoning was.

You want to no longer exist. That's it, isn't it?

...You're correct, though I still am not sure how or why you know this. Regardless, it does not seem to have worked.

I don't care whether it worked or not. You killed my best friend, one of the most important people to me. He's dead because of you.

If you are saying these things in an effort to make me feel 'guilty', then your attempts will end up fruitless. His death was merely another I have been tasked with, though the failure of my goal will surely haunt me.

What did he do to you besides exist?!

It is a long story that I am in no position to explain. Had you been in mine, you would have done the same.

Had I been in anyone's position he would have still been someone I loved and cannot easily forgive the killing of.

Your forgiveness is not something I am running after with open arms. Do you think I am not accustomed to such an attitude toward me?

You don't care at all that you're telling me you murdered my love...

I wasn't aware of your feelings... but that is exactly what I am telling you.

I always end up forgiving you... always, no matter what you do. I don't understand why I'm so stupid.

That would make two of us, Issei.

Stop. Just stop. I don't want to hear anything that isn't an apology or at least sympathy for the fact that my best friend is dead, even if it is by your hand.

The only thing I can offer you is understanding that I know how you feel. Many a time I was forced to kill those I had grown an attachment to. This is the only semblance of sympathy you may gain from me. This was an inevitability, and it is not my fault if you were caught in the crossfire.

Such an unfeeling...

I'm not replying to this any longer.

That would be for the best. If you are still here to hear my words, I would advise disconnecting from the network.

[If Issei isn't, Archer is... or at the very least, he's ignoring this thread.]

Emiya Shirou... That's that red-headed kid, right?

Correct, though I do not feel it is required to tell you more of him.

Why're you mentioning apologizing? You have somethin' to do with him dying?

I am the one who killed him.

On purpose.

And? Yer problem's just with him? The monk or the magican girl he was dating. You don't got any problems with them?

My issue was with him alone. I have no personal problems with Issei, though I can safely say that my Master is an annoyance I could do without... Still, neither of them were intended to be harmed in any way by this, though I cannot weep over the fact their hearts may have been caught within it.

Your master? Wait, wait. Yer involved with that girl?

I am a Servant, and she is my Master. I serve her so that she may obtain the Holy Grail, though this is temporary.

You work for her, but you killed her boyfriend? I thought my problem here was gonna be on my monk's behalf, but if you pull a turncoat stunt on her like that, maybe that's the bigger deal...

I'm quite sure she'll be used to betrayal. It isn't the first time I have done so to her.

Not the first time... Then, let the monk go first. He's not too tough, but I dunno if she'll leave anything for him to take it out on.

Neither of them would be able to last very long if they aimed to kill me for 'revenge.' Allowing them to fight me would be allowing them to go through with a suicide plan.

Who said anything about fighting? I'm telling you to let them take it out on you 'till they're tired of it.

I am not the kind of person to simply lie back and take it.

You can't apologize for it 'cause yer not sorry about doing it. I get that.

But you gonna say you don't give two shits about either of their feelings, too? You give enough of a shit to tell him; either that's yer way of thinkin' about him or yer just bein' an asshole to rub it in on him. If yer cold to her, she can take care of herself, but if you're gonna be that cold about my helpless, oversensitive, emotional, love-struck monk, you 'n me are gonna have some problems.

Letting him know that Emiya Shirou was dead was an attempt to save him time and inevitably finding out with his own eyes. I wouldn't put it as crude as you have, but you have summed up my feelings on the subject. I had one goal in traveling through time, and now that it is complete I have nothing else to care about.

[Yet... there is still something there. A void within Archer. He completed his task and he's still here, so it did fail... but maybe he does regret it. Maybe, once he experiences the full backlash, he'll understand.]

So, yer not just bein' an asshole. You give a shit enough about how he finds out 'cause it's gonna bug him. And it's somethin' you did.

Even if yer not sorry for doin' it, yer sorry he hurts. So, you need to let him wail on you. You oughtta know he don't got it in him to kill. It's the price of doin' somethin', even if it's somethin' that's gotta get done. You need a ride to his place?

[Greed has already decided Archer is going. The only question, at least in his mind, is whether it's willfully or whether he'll have to attempt to bludgeon him into submission, first.]

Issei-kun's friend? I'm sorry to hear that.

The same... It was inevitable, though it has changed nothing.

It was expected...? I see. Even so, he will be missed.
