That is a good way to look at it. Survive eight weeks, make it out alive, and see what you can do from there.

[Red isn't fond of giving false hope, but it sounds like Shirou really needs to hear it. In reality, she doesn't know how fast any of the kids will be consumed, so she can't make any promises to them.]

[diesifkilled]

Right! I mean, I'll still try to do what I can right here, of course, but it'll still be fine even if that doesn't work.

[False hope is what he's built his entire life on. This is fine.]

Oh, uh, I had a different question too. About what you told me last week.

[backspacing]

[Yes let's move on to other questions.]

Yes? About what?

[diesifkilled]

That thing about an idea two people had. I know you want me to figure it out myself, but I really haven't made any progress. So... I was wondering if you could give some kind of a hint.

[backspacing]

[Oh, that.

Red sighs.]

Well that avenue may be closed off now, since a certain someone made some bad choices last week.

[diesifkilled]

Oh.

[THANKS LENKA]

Well, I guess I won't have to worry about that anymore, at least.

[backspacing]

If you do want to try it, I would suggest stealth.

[diesifkilled]

You mean I should ask someone else to do it. I'm not much good at stealth.

[backspacing]

That would be a good idea, mister "my powers are 'sword' and 'more sword'".

[diesifkilled]

[DIRECT HIT]

You just had to point that out, didn't you...!

[backspacing]

Archer may have told me a thing or two to tease you about.

[diesifkilled]

[OH GOD]

For the record, whatever that guy told you is probably not true because he doesn't know anything about me!

[except for the thing where he knows everything]

[backspacing]

So your powers aren't 'sword' and 'more sword'?

[diesifkilled]

I mean. That part is true. Admittedly.

[backspacing]

What about "He's denser than the core of the Earth"?

[diesifkilled]

That's not teasing, that's just an insult! It does sound like something Archer would say, though.

[backspacing]

He did tell me not to mention that you get a very beautiful girlfriend in the future.

[Okay now she's just having a little bit of fun at his expense. And Archer's too.]

[diesifkilled]

[Okay, that] gets a big blush out of him. Both because it's embarrassing and he's getting teased by a hot lady but also because he just recently lost a very beautiful girlfriend and that makes for all kinds of complicated feelings.]

T-that's definitely something he couldn't possibly know about! It's not like he's around anymore in my world, so...!

[backspacing]

You can choose to believe it or not. Either way, you'll find out in the future I suppose.

[diesifkilled]

It's not any of your business either way! And especially not Archer's!

[He might be sulking, but there's no real seriousness to it. Being teased is something he can cope with just fine.]

Anyway, that's all the questions I had for now.

[backspacing]

[LOL SHIROU

But that's fine. Red will look amused, but she won't comment on it anymore.]

Alright. Feel free to come back any time you have questions.
