Chapter 2: The Lancer

"In the face of disaster lies opportunity for renewal." — Nyx Avatar

"Rin-san. Wake up." I ordered, using her first name. It didn't seem to get her riled up like before. Did she just accept it? Cool. Nevertheless, I couldn't have her missing school today. She got me transferred in already and, seeing as she was responsible for me being here and all, she had to go with me... It's not like I was scared of getting lost. Yep. I have the best sense of direction around! I... think. Being an amnesiac sucks.

"Nooo... Five more minutes..." She sleepily murmured as she clutched her pillow tightly over her face. Rin Tohsaka, you are really lazy. Although... if it wasn't for the plan we decided on yesterday, I would go back to bed as well. Even at this moment, I'm feeling sleepy...

Damn. We're both lazy.

"Rin-san. I will sit on you." I warned. I didn't want to hurt her or be so cruel as to dump cold water on her (we are partners, after all). Any injuries that she sustained would be detrimental to our fighting power as well as both of our mental states. Cold water could end up with her getting sick. I could tickle her... but it would be best to find out her weak points through poking her in random spots every now and then. Wow. I sound really weird. I shouldn't be thinking so deeply about this.

"Sit... on me? Is that your idea of a punishment, Savior? You look... light." She smirked as she tried to go back to sleep. I looked at my body. Yep. I'm a lightweight... that won't stop me. I shall wake you up if it's the last thing I do!

"You think I won't do it just because I'm light?" I asked. Oh, I will do it. I even put a bit of warning in my voice, but she didn't seem to respond to it at all. Am I really not that scary? The realization hurt me. I'm simply just not able to intimidate her.

"...I think it won't matter if you do. Now, goodnight..."

"THEN I'LL SIT ON YOUR FACE LIKE A CAT!" I shouted as I leapt towards her. Her eyes snapped open, glowing with a fearsome glint, and, for just a split second, I felt my life pass before my eyes.

BONK!

"You didn't have to be so rough..." I complained as I rubbed my cheek. That girl had a fearsome kick. She somehow managed to kick me in midair and go back to sleep for exactly five more minutes. I may be a Heroic Spirit or whatever, but getting kicked in the face by this girl hurt. Girls are strong. Noted. At least we were finally walking to school. And it was a good thing Rin had managed to secure the materials I needed for our plan to take down a Servant quickly.

"Hmph. Next time don't try to jump on somebody's face when they're trying to sleep. Do you know how hard I work every day?" It took all I had to stop myself from face palming.

"We didn't do anything hard at all yesterday! We had fun!" I exclaimed. We were passing the front gate of the school now. And everybody was staring. Great. They were whispering too.

"Whatever." She said as she turned her head away. Rin Tohsaka... you really are an irritating partner. We continued to walk towards the school. We didn't say anything, but I noticed that she would occasionally glance at me, as if she wanted me to talk with her. Well, she kicked me. And then blew off the fun we had yesterday. She could live with a little silent treatment.

Rin whispered something so quietly, I thought I had imagined it. "...S...sorry." Was she really apologizing? Well, now I feel bad for getting so upset. I think this girl just doesn't know how to deal with others properly. She used to live alone and she's part of a family known for being magi, and supposedly strong magi as well, from what she's told me. Maybe she feels she needs to live up to that 'strong' name or something. That might not be the case, but it would make sense. What's the truth? Rin... you really are an interesting partner.

We entered the school building. I took out my schedule for my classroom I'd be going too. Then I realized Rin and I would be in the same class. So I just had to stick to her. In the school building, I could hear the gossip as we walked down the hall.

"Who's that person with Tohsaka-san?"

"I don't know? Do you think they're related?"

"Nah, they don't look alike. Maybe they're lovers."

Damn gossiping high schoolers. I have a feeling that they've always been a thorn in my side. Or maybe this new school uniform has a tag poking me. Well, at least it's pretty cool how you change clothing as a Heroic Spirit at least. You just imagine you're wearing it and then poof! I figured it out when I visualized how I would look wearing the uniform in the mirror. So, if I imagined myself nake- No! Stop it brain! You're going too far. Focus on the topic at hand, brain.

"Maybe they're just friends." I said, imitating a high-school girl. I hoped this worked. I could probably influence the gossip towards something more positive.

"Yeah, maybe they are friends! But how did that punk get to be friends with Tohsaka-sama?!"

"I don't like the look in his eyes. Maybe he's secretly lusting after her."

"Ew, maybe he's a pervert!"

"Go die, pervert!"

...That did not go as planned. I didn't know she have something akin to a fan club. Maybe she had one of those too. I looked over at Rin to see her reaction. She was smirking. So, she thought it was funny! I'll show her what's fun-... You know, I'd probably be laughing too if it was someone else. I can't really blame her then. Damn my sense of humor.

"You hear that, Savior? You're officially the school's pervert." She said with a grin. You smug little... Well, at least she's smiling. Where did that thought come from? Who cares if she's smiling, man?! Think about your own situation! Yeah! I didn't even do anything! Why am I suddenly declared a pervert?! This isn't fair! There. That's better. You got to be more self-centered at times like these, Savior.

"Whatever." That's right! I'll just blow it off like it's nothing! You won't get the pleasure of seeing me squirm, Rin! She raised an eyebrow in surprise. Apparently, she didn't expect that. Well, ha! One point for me!... And a lot of points for her. I'm fighting a losing battle. But...

At least I'm having fun.

We entered the classroom. Class 2-A. There was a stern-faced man standing in front of the class. There were mostly empty seats. We were there a little early and most of the students hadn't yet arrived. Yet somehow we were late enough that some students had already arrived. Oho! Rin your timing is impeccable!... Though I'm still a bit upset that you had to kick me this morning. A simple slap would have sufficed. Rin walked over to the man, most likely the teacher, and gave a polite smile. The teacher turned to me without a smile. He was a serious, bespectacled fellow. He had about 10 cm on me. I wouldn't want to get in a fistfight with this person. Unless I had a good pair of gloves... Where did that thought come from?

"You must be the new student. I am your homeroom teacher, Souichirou Kuzuki. You will give a brief introduction when class starts and then take your seat. The one next to Tohsaka-san is currently vacant. You may take that seat." When he finished, he turned away and began to look at some class materials. Geez, what a serious guy. I have a feeling his class is going to be boring. I turned to Rin.

"...Fun teacher, right?" I commented sarcastically. She seemed to grin slightly as she moved to her seat.

"I can hear you. I did not move far."

Damn. Sarcastic comments about a teacher should not be said next to the teacher. I thought I was smarter than that. I'm disappointed in myself for that one. I took out my schedule once more to check the fake name Rin had given me.

Savior Tanaka.

Why do I suddenly feel the urge to punch a middle-aged businessman?

"Hello. My name is Savior Tanaka. I hope we can all get along well. I like food and sleeping." I said with a smile. Try to be friendly. Try to be friendly. I just have to say typical teenage boy things (they're also true for me, fortunately). Overall, I'd say it was a wonderful introduction to this new school. The class...

Was not impressed. Hey, wait... Was that guy in the back sleeping?! During my introduction?! Am I really that unimportant?! I sighed and went to take my seat. I'm certain that if this was any other class people would be talking and whatnot. But this teacher was a very serious, commanding teacher.

He was intimidating when he needed to be.

Damn it, Rin. Why couldn't you have a more fun homeroom teacher? Like a kooky, ditzy female teacher whose name could be used as an insulting pun? I have a feeling that would be more fun. And I came up with that idea for a teacher all by myself! Ha! I'm a genius!

Oh, wait. The teacher is talking.

"World History, as you all know, is..."

Nap time...

Is what I would like to say, but the way Kuzuki-sensei keeps eyeing more is sending shivers down my spine.

Oh boy, time to pay attention in class!

After 2nd period, it had been music class, Rin and I ran into a younger girl with purple hair who was carrying a stack of papers. Well, not really ran into, but more like noticed. It was hard not to. The stack was monstrous.

"I'll help, Sakura." Rin said.

"Huh?" The younger girl, said, surprised.

Their eyes met.

The way Rin and the girl looked at each other, told me there was something deeper about their relationship. And in called this girl without any honorifics. They were close. Old school rivals? Childhood friends? Perhaps even long lost sisters? I don't know. I was never good at this whole guessing relationships game. At least I think so. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Being an amnesiac sucks.

The younger girl looked at me, as if she was puzzled by my appearance. I decided to take the first move. This moment would only get more awkward if I let it. Judging by this girl's innocent face, she must be the shy, childhood friend type. Haha! I may literally remember nothing about myself, but I can remember reading plenty of shounen manga!

... Was I an otaku? No, that description doesn't seem to fit me. Maybe, I was just a person of varied interests. Yep, that seemed to match me perfectly.

"Hello, purple-haired maiden! Oho, that appears to be a mighty stack of documents you have there! We would gladly assist you in your endeavor!" Did I come off as too energetic? Isn't that how a protagonist is supposed to respond to this type of girl? Given the fact that Rin is looking at me rather oddly, I suppose not. Damn. Maybe I should try my hand at visual novels to get the characters better. The girl smiled.

"Um... I'm sorry. I... couldn't possibly ask you to help me. I don't even know your name." Aha! It was all going according to plan.

"My name is Savior Tanaka. Transfer student extraordinaire!" I said strongly. Could this approach possible work? Rin bowed apologetically.

"I'm sorry my acquaintance here is such an idiot. We'll help. What is it for?" She asked as she glanced at the stack of papers. "World History? That would be Kuzuki-sensei. What's he thinking making a girl do all this?... He's our homeroom teacher. Here, we'll each take a third." Rin said as she grabbed a portion I grabbed a slightly larger portion, to be nice.

"Thank you," the girl said. I should probably stop thinking of her as just 'the girl' now. She turned to me. "My name is Sakura Matou. I hope we can get along." Sakura said with a smile. New friend 'get'! I feel like I should get an Achievement or power boost for this, but...

Nope, nothing. I just got a friend. Nothing else. Then why do I feel like something is missing?

Anyway, we walked back to Kuzuki with the papers before parting ways and going back to class. Rin and Sakura talked about things along the way. Obviously, I payed no attention. I'm not well versed in the arts of feminine small talk. Or am I?!... Nope. Pretty sure I don't need a memory to confirm that one.

It was now lunch. I turned in my seat to face Rin, who was sitting to my left.

"Hi." I said.

"Hello." She replied. Awkward silence for no reason. We began to pack our school supplies.

...

...

...

"Want to go buy lunch together?" I asked with a smile.

"...You have no idea where the cafeteria is, do you?" Rin asked smugly.

... Damn. Was it that obvious?

"Yep... Let's go!" We exited the classroom together as whispers started to come from the mouths of the other girls in the class. Gossip. Gosh, I'm just such a source of interest.

We sat on the roof eating lunch together. It was quiet and peaceful. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. The wind caressed my face as if I was but a newborn babe, bright-eyed and eager to see the new world beyond me. Happiness flowed the air, enveloping me as I filled my stomach with this suddenly delicious food... It was all so very... peaceful...

Zzzzz...

"Savior, our next class is going to start. Savior? Are you sleeping? C'mon! We're going to be late for class!" Rin exclaimed. I couldn't see her. My eyes were closed, busy searching for that utopia we call a dream. For this moment, I was in love with the world...

"Five... more minutes..." I sleepily murmured. It's only fair right? I gave her five minutes.

"I'll ask nicely one more time. Get. Up. Please."

...Fine. The tone of warning in her voice makes me feel like I'll be kicked again. I sighed heavily as I got up.

"I just can't win with you, Rin-san. You're lucky I'm rather passive." I said in defeat. I reached into my bag and handed her some of the materials I brought with me as I told her about the last few details of our plan that I thought up last night.

We went to class.

After school ended, the plan would begin.

"There's definitely a Master at the school. I know that for certain, Savior."

"Hmm. I'll take your word for it. If we're wrong, we won't have lost anything. Let's draw him out."

"How do you suppose we do that?"

"Well, according to what you said, battles don't happen in crowded places. Also, this Master is likely aware of your status as a magus. So...

We use you as bait."

Rin stood alone in the schoolyard. She looked at her watch. It was getting late. Would any Servant attack her when the trap was this obvious? She sighed irritably as she began to look through her schoolbag. She'd stick to the plan. She had to. If she doubted it right now, then all their preparations would be for nothing.

She'd wait to be attacked. But even though Savior had already explained it to her, it was stupid! What if they didn't fall for it?!

"Bait?! Is that the extent of your plan? C'mon! There's no way they would fall for such an obvious trap!"

"That's not all. There's one more part to it."

"What other part could there possibly be? Besides, being bait is stupid! I could be killed by an Archer easily!"

"Our enemies are Heroic Spirits and Masters, right? They don't know I can't go into this Spiritual Body form. They'll think I'm with you the entire time, so they won't try to snipe you. It would just give away their location. They'll approach you, try to reveal where I am. After all, an unknown in any equation is dangerous. That's what I'm counting on."

"You still haven't told me the second part of your plan."

"You look lost, little lady. Mind if I give you some directions?"

Rin's head snapped to the location of the voice. A blue-haired man in blue armor with crimson eyes was walking towards her. He held a crimson lance in one hand. 'Lancer!' It was just the Servant, however. Most likely, the Master is either hiding or sitting at home waiting to have his Servant report back to him. Rin really hoped Savior's plan worked. Rin smiled at the armed Servant who stood only ten feet away from her.

"No, thank you for the offer though. As a matter of fact, I was wondering where your Master is, Lancer. Too lazy to come here himself?" Rin said tauntingly. Lancer shrugged. He seemed rather laid back.

"Yep. He is the lazy type. Makes me wish I'd gotten a cute girl like you for a Master. So where's your invisible friend? Too lazy to fight me himself?" He replied. Rin felt a drop of sweat going down her back. She was keeping him talking, lower his guard a little.

She prayed Savior's plan worked.

"The second part is the hardest. Keep the Master or even the Servant talking if you can. Try to lower the guard. If you can, act as confidently as possible. Fool them. Make them think that I'm right in front of them, then try to get some distance between you and them."

"Where will you be?"

"He is a rather lazy Servant, but he's the best. I know he is." Rin said confidently.

"Oh really? And what makes you think that?" Lancer asked bemusedly. Rin took a few steps back.

"Because I'm his Master. And he's insane enough for us to beat you." Lancer began to walk towards her.

"Do you really thi-" The ground beneath him collapsed in a pitfall trap, catching him completely by surprise. He began to fall as I leapt from the bottom of the pit, punching Lancer in the face with my bloodied fist as he rose up through the air. The force launched Lancer a little higher, but I kept rising from my jump. I punched Lancer once more in the face, knocking him down into the pit. I landed next to Rin. She reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle with some cloth hanging from the lid. I reached for the lighter in my pocket and lit the cloth. I threw down the bottle into the pit. Who knew it was so easy to make it? So easy to make a...

Molotov Cocktail.

Flames rose from the pit as the glass bottle shattered.

"You know how the schoolyard is made of sand? I'll be underneath it. I just need to dig deep down enough."

"There's no way its deep enough. There has to be concrete underneath it."

"I'm a Heroic Spirit. I should be able to do something about that."

"It was a good plan. You find out whom we're facing, and then surprise attack them with a pitfall. If there was a Master with him, the Master would have a hard time getting out, reducing the probability of accidentally killing him while simultaneously making the fight two against one. It's dirty. I like it. The Molotov Cocktail was a nice touch." Rin complimented as we waited for Lancer to rise from the flames. There was no way it would kill him. However, it could at least slow him down. For somebody like me who doesn't really know how to fight (punching and knowing how to punch are two different things), it was the best plan I could come up with.

I had to make this as close to even as possible. I had so much strength, but I couldn't use it properly. I wondered what I was like before I lost my memory. Was I really incredible? How did I ever get this strong?

"If he'd been with his Master, it would have been a lot harder to use it... I'm beginning to wish you got me the grenade I asked for as well."

"Magi don't use modern technology. Didn't I tell you that already? You're lucky I was able to get you the Molotov." Magi. Too proud to use a gun. It seemed really stupid that they would pass up on such great technology. If a magus combined technology with magic, then he'd be a magus to truly be feared. I'd hate to fight that guy.

"You little bastards tricked me good. I have to say that this the first time such a trick has been used on me. But no matter. At least your Servant is here. Let's see if you can stop using such cowardly tactics." Lancer jumped up from the pit. The only indications of him being damaged were the marks on his face from me hitting him and a few, small black marks on his armor. What the hell was this guy? He just was set on fire! He looks fine! Why does he look fine?!

"Rin-san. Stay behind me." I ordered her as I pushed her back. Why was I doing this? I don't even have a weapon. He has a spear. This was going to suck.

"Understood... Don't die. You're my Servant. You're the strongest." She said as she backed up, to a safe distance. I smiled. I knelt down to tie my shoe, grabbing a little bit of sand as I did so.

"Yeah, I heard that already." I replied with as I turned my attention back towards Lancer. I raised a hand and flexed it towards me, the classic 'bring it on' gesture. He smirked.

"Done talking? Let's get this show on the road!" He charged towards me, lance at the ready. Right as he thrusted, I threw the sand in his eyes and sidestepped out of the way of his lance. Now I just needed to-

Hurk!

I looked down. His lance had somehow changed direction mid-thrust enough to pierce my side. His smirk was replaced with a frown as I jumped back, applying pressure to my bleeding wound.

"You managed to avoid a stab to the heart, which was impressive, but... You fight dirty. I hate that. Fight me like a man. What class are you? Because I know for a fact you aren't Assassin." Why is this guy talking? He's only giving me more time to recover! I'm not going to tell this guy my class. Rin might not know of it, but if he did, he might know my weaknesses... Which there were many of. Such as having no weapon. Damn it. I'm just going to punch this guy's face in.

"I'm class 2-A!" I shouted as I charged him, fist raised. I aimed a punch towards his face. He blocked it with his lance. He twirled his lance, sending my fist to the side as he hit me with the back of his lance. I was sent flying. I crashed into the school building, right through the window. The shards of glass cut me several times as I continued through the window to crash into a wall. The speed with which I had crashed through the glass had allowed them to cut me deeply. I doubt they would have hurt me in any other situation. I tried to move.

Ow.

I spat out a mouthful of blood as I stood to my feet once more. I grabbed a shard of glass tightly, my blood seeped onto the glass, and a piece of rubble, and charged once more. I threw the rubble at him, hoping he would make an opening by blocking it so I could land a hit on this guy.

Lancer dodged it.

His frown deepened and his red eyes hardened. He was disappointed.

"Is this all you have? Seriously? Do you want to die? Do you want your Master to die? Because my Master won't stop with killing you. He'll want the Master dead as well, just for insurance. You're a Servant, aren't you? Why don't you use your Noble Phantasm? It must be good if you're so weak." I grit my teeth. I'll have to use everything my body has to fight this guy.

"Shut up!" I rushed him, trying to slash him with the shard of glass. He just stabbed out with his lance. I sidestepped again at the last second, hoping to avoid a fatal injury and then move in to attack him.

"AAARGH!" His spear barely missed my heart, piercing me in the chest. I found it hard to breathe. Blood was filling my lung... Why? Why am I so weak? I know I have strength! Why can't I use it?! Lancer walked towards me as I fell to my knees. I looked towards him as he raised his lance once more, this time to kill me. Damn it! I won't let it end like this! I can do it!

I'll beat him. This singular thought rang throughout my entire existence as I raised my hand, hoping to at least strike him once.

Suddenly, a barrage a hazy black orbs pounded Lancer. He looked towards the point of origin, an eyebrow raised. He wasn't harmed at all. I looked towards where they came from. Rin stood there, her arm extended. She'd fired a magic attack at him, though it appeared she didn't put enough magic power behind it. Stupid! I told you to stay behind me! You off all people should know what you have to lose!

"This isn't really like me. What am I doing? Why am I doing this?... I guess I ended up getting a little too attached to this Servant of mine..." She was whispering to herself, but I could somehow hear her words. No, I understood them. I didn't need to hear them. She suddenly shouted. "You hear that, Savior! You're making your Master fight! You should be ashamed!"

Somewhere inside me, I laughed at that. I was being pitiful now. I tried to stand to my feet. Lancer kicked me in the head, knocking me away. My vision grew blurry.

"I'll just draw out your strength. How about that? I hate resorting to cowardly tactics like this, but it seems you aren't even taking me seriously. Looks like I have no choice. Let's see how long you live with those wounds."

Lancer walked over towards Rin. She fired many of those black orbs, but Lancer was not hit by them. He reached Rin. She tried to resist, but he merely hit her once. He spoke to her, held her hostage by her hair... I couldn't hear them. Whatever he said.. it was making Rin... emotional. Sad, angry, I don't know. Why was she emotional? Was she crying? No... Don't cry...

Rin...

Just give up, Savior.

I shakily pushed myself to my feet, only to collapse. Something fell out of my jacket pocket as I fell. I looked towards it as I was sprawled out on the ground.

...Evoker...

Was that what it was called?

Give up. You can't win.

I felt drawn to it...

I extended my arm, reaching for my Evoker. I touched it. A strange, warm feeling spread throughout my body. I felt... calm.

I'd been reckless, energetic, optimistic, and just a bit insane since I came here. Since I was summoned. But now, while holding this Evoker... I felt at peace. My face was no longer that of an expression of pain, anger, sadness, or anything. It was like I had put on a mask. My mind began to calm. No longer did my mind stray off to anything...silly. As long as I held this Evoker, I was focused. I stood to my feet, despite my body's protests. I shakily stood.

You're too weak.

Why did I think I'm weak?

I'm the strongest.

"Do it, damn it! If you want her to live, then do it! Show no fear! Don't you know who the hell you are?!"

Who was saying that? Was it me? My mouth was open... I was the one who had spoken. Strange. Some part of me must be calling out to the other part of me, the part that is in control. And... I had a pierced lung. How could I talk? How was I still alive? I didn't know, but I had to do something. But what do I do? Words began to slowly drip into my mind. They were the answer.

"I am the embodiment of the soul.

Masks are my identity and my weapon."

I have to live. I can't back down. That bastard hurt Rin. Rin and I will both live. We don't deserve to die. Not like that bastard.

"Per..."

"Who are you?! What are you doing?!"

"I'm just having a little fun. Target practice always cheers me up."

"Go to hell!"

"Hell? Been there, done that. It only made me stronger. In fact, because I went there, I'm here now. Isn't that funny?"

"F-funny?! You're insane! Insane!"

"No, I'm just a humble servant of Nyx-sama. I am Takaya Sakaki, a simple Archer looking for a Master. Do you know of anybody worthy? If not... you'll simply be the next target."

A/N: No Shirou yet. :( I decided to split this fight into two chapters, if only because I want to get this chapter out now instead of a few weeks later. This chapter is longer than the last. Enjoy the cliffhanger :) And yes, this is when the prologue starts. But this is only the beginning. There is so much more to come. So many more Servants to fight.

Anyway, yes Takaya is there as Archer. I do have reasons behind it. Several, in fact.

Oh and there is a poll on my profile page for the last new Persona crossover I'll be doing for the year. Vote for your fav and you should expect to see it once I get enough votes it.

And if any of you are wondering why I haven't been updating and why I'm updating this first...

M1N470 is being beta'd (My beta is a bit busy right now so I'm being rather lax). Currently bored of Velvet Pirates. Will finish the chapter I have for it when I get excited again. Empty Sea is... Well, in my head right now. Same for the others.

Review Reply Time!:

To the first three reviewers: Thank you! I won't let you guys down! :D

Mzr90: He is the only other Persona-user summoned for this war. At least, the only one I have planned. As for Shirou, don't worry about him too much. Minato will still be able to make an impact. That's all I can say for now.

SEESWildCard: In response to your PM, (Sorry. I had written a response, but had forgotten to send it), Rider... Well, there is one. There has to be one. So there may actually be nine Servants... or maybe even... 10 :) That's all I'll say on that matter.

twigggy: Must. Make. Omake. Of Elizabeth playing with Shinji's soul. Next chapter I will. :) As for Takaya, I guess you could say he cheated. More on that later.

JRZTimeTravel: Archer is Takaya. EMIYA is elsewhere. He's a major part of the error.

BlackFang27: Archer class is... Well, here's something from the wiki: "the qualifying condition to place in the class is determined not by their attributes; but the possession of powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons." Think about it hard enough and it fits. If it doesn't, then that's because I haven't explained the full reason behind Takaya's position in that class. Let's just say he has a powerful Noble Phantasm he obtained after death. Also, Archer class can survive for a few days without a master.

As for the rest of the reviews, I'm sure you can find your answer in this A/N. I want to reply to all all of you, but over twenty replies would be too many. Also, I'm tired.

Question of the Chapter: Which characters from either the Persona 3 or Fate/Stay Night universes were referenced in this chapter? C'mon, there were quite a few!

REVIEW, FAVORITE, AND FOLLOW. Pretty please with an extra serving of Sakura on top?
