[A literal sniper's shot would have taken him out slower than Berserker's words. His arm fell to his side as he felt like he just had the wind taken out of him. He... did not expect for that to be pegged so immediately.]
... Yes. Yes, that's it exactly. [He wanted to say slouched in this chair, but he still wished to maintain some sort of propriety and willed himself to sit upright and look Berserker in the eyes.]
Fear not, my friend. I anticipated exactly this, and indeed all is as it should be.
[He leaned forward slightly, folding his hands and continuing to watch Takame with unblinking intent.]
Unfettered liberation is overwhelming, and to discover one's desires independent of all others' demands is something that must be learned in time. For now, think: what is the shape of your eventual happiness? What does that life look like in your mind? From there, you merely need take single steps at a time to attain it.
[He's never exactly looked at the bigger picture before. He's never had the liberty of doing so, his life for the past two decades was preparation to relinquish power that Takame risked his life for. To just give up the Holy Grail to a family that felt nothing for their own blood and even less for an adopted, no, conscripted Auri boy.
So knowing this was supposed to happen, while it made sense, confused him at the same time. Still he considered what was said to him. What is the shape of his eventual happiness? He's silent. For a long, long while.
The happiest he's felt away from his sister was this very night. Killing his adoptive father that demanded his participation in the war.
... The Holy Grail War. The purpose of his life. The event that ended it before it began. And yet from its chaos he's given the chance to be born anew. He is thankful for Berserker. He will never forget Berserker, no matter what path his live spins into. No matter where the path beyond love and hate leads him.
But if another fate like his or Hina's is determined by the War, then.]
Such a life may be obtained... in a world where the Holy Grail War is utterly dismantled.

What am I to do now? Where am I to go?
