[ text | locked from kotomine and archer | dated before gil's post ]
I do not wish to be the bearer of ill news, but I fear that I will not have much time left to speak with you, community. My time tonight has been spent pursuing Rider and his Master, as I believed them to have kidnapped Irisviel. But I was mistaken. The true culprit had disguised themselves with some form of illusion, and escaped my sight. Whether it was Berserker, or perhaps even Archer...
... in any case, that detail is irrelevant to this post. I merely wished to say that since the war is fast drawing to its close, I think this may be the last time I speak with you all. I do not know what will transpire in the coming days, or how it will ultimately end. There has been much that has thrown my heart into doubt recently. But it has been a true honour knowing those I have spoken to here, and for your company I thank you.
If I may leave you all with some parting advice... please exercise great caution when having any dealings with either Archer or Father Kirei Kotomine. They are both highly dangerous men, and not simply because of their prowess in their respective martial disciplines. It would greatly vex me if any of you were to fall foul of either of them.
That is all, I believe. Thank you for your attention.

I want to tell you how truly grateful I am to have met you, both here and in the fourth war. Everything I said in your world, I...I didn't mean it. None of this should be a burden for you to carry upon your shoulders. And more than anything I wish you to know that y-...
[His voice cracked again; Lancer seemed to be having a terrible time of keeping his composure.]
...that you made me happy. Even in a time when I thought such a thing would never be possible again.

... I am honoured to be told such a thing. [ Saber's own voice is steady, but filled with some heavy emotion, almost struggling under the weight. ] And glad... glad that I could ease your heart even slightly. It has been a true honour and a pleasure to have crossed paths with you, Diarmuid.
