[A nod.]

I've already lost a few memories. I don't need to lose more.

[divus]

If only everyone felt the way you do about it, Sieg-kun. I don't blame them, but it can be pretty tough.

We won't let your memories go to waste. I promise.

[heartmunculus]

I don't think people will want to remember how they died.

[Just... in general.]

If I do though, let me keep those. I already have experience with it.

[divus]

Maybe not all of them, no.

...are you aware that sometimes you say really worrying things?

[heartmunculus]

...?

What part?

[divus]

Having experience with death. I don't know if I've heard any of you say it so casually.

[heartmunculus]

It's just something that happened. There's no reason to be worried about it.

Most Heroic Spirits know what it's like to die anyway.

[divus]

But then you guys come back, right?

[heartmunculus]

Hmm... Sort of. Spirits aren't really alive to start with.

A spirit from the Grail is only a copy, if they die they really die. If they're summoned again they don't have memories of the last time they were summoned.

[divus]

But do they have the same skills and stuff? It sounds complicated and...a little sad, I guess.

[heartmunculus]

They do. Every version of Okita Souji would be the same as any other when they were first created for the War. Their experiences are what makes them different, but only Rulers remember every War they're in.

[divus]

And you become a Ruler how, exactly? [A beat.] If it's too complicated to explain, that's okay.

[heartmunculus]

A Ruler is somebody who has a story or legend but doesn't have a wish they want granted by the Grail.

[divus]

Soooo...you could be a Ruler if you wanted?

[heartmunculus]

[Shakes his head.]

I don't have that right. I'm here for a wish. Even something like "I want to fight" counts.

Jeanne d'Arc, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, and Sherlock Holmes are the three most prominent ones.

[divus]

Is that really a wish instead of just a basic choice? That sounds so complicated.

Jeanne's the one you're closest with though, right?

[heartmunculus]

[FATE/ IS STUPID.]

That's right. Amakusa Shirou and I don't agree.

I don't have much of an opinion on Sherlock.

[divus]

Maybe it doesn't matter, but why don't you agree? You seem to get along with most people.

[heartmunculus]

He was the one who put the current wish on the grail. He thinks if humanity exists as a concept, that's fine, but he's completely ignoring individual people.

[divus]

He sounds kind of like a jerk.

[heartmunculus]

I won't disagree.

[divus]

Maybe it's a good thing he didn't get the call first. I can't imagine somebody like that here.

[heartmunculus]

... I would've tried to kill him if I saw him here.

[He doubts they'd be allies.]

[divus]

Then it's definitely a good thing. But other than that, you're still going to stay strong here and not kill anyone, aren't you? Are things still the same?

[heartmunculus]

I don't want to kill anybody... but I won't let them just kill me either.
