Saber wanders away from her new master, whenever she can. She explores the city. She finds herself drifting to certain places in particular. The relics of the last war, for one. The place where she'd been forced to destroy the grail.
And then the place that Kiritsugu Emiya had taken as he stronghold in the last war.
His barriers are still up. It's a surprise, she thinks, to feel how much love is in them.
There's something in the air. Sadness. And stagnancy.
She asks the neighbours. Kiritsugu is five years dead, and his son a far more recent victim.
