18. Guardian
Really, explaining his past also means accepting there's no way out. Shirou Emiya's death earlier in the cycle doesn't stop him becoming a Guardian. His continued existence is proof of that.
Or maybe he's managed to save this Shirou. Who knows.
Who really cares. He's become a little selfish over time. Maybe if he gets his hands on the Grail, he'll be able to save himself. It's really his only hope, now. His raison d'etre.
He wonders how many of the others feel the same.
But seeing the sympathy on Saber's face, he knows… there's a depth only Guardians share.
