After Hanako's bad ending, Hisao has begun to fall apart. Loss, regret, and confusion is giving way to rage and indecision. Without knowing how to move forward, without having the stomach to call Lilly, without having the heart to apologize to Hanako, what is he left with? The small flicker of hope and comfort his friends can give, if they can weather the storm by his side.

Through a twist of Fate, instead of Kuzuki, Emiya Shirou discovers Caster after her initial Master was killed. He takes her in, and due to his Hero Complex, ends up roped into the Grail War in an attempt to both bring it to an end, and see her through safely.

A what-if scenario, based on the original Visual Novel, exploring what may have happened if Shirou had accidentally killed Shinji during the Blood Fort. The idea was inspired by SwordofallCreation's "Fate of the Unknown" series of ideas. Rated T for now, but may delve into M rating.
