Archer: Support A

Archer: Avatar.

Avatar: Well, isn't this a surprise. I was sure you didn't want anything to do with me after the binding spell.

Archer: …If you must know, my joints ache whenever I look at you. But, I didn't come here to gripe. I came here because I wanted to talk.

Avatar: We have nothing left to talk about, Archer. You agreed to stay silent about Shirō, we have nothing left to say to each other.

Archer: I disagree…I want to know more about why you're so protective of Shirō Emiya and his beliefs.

Avatar: …Is that all you want to know?

Archer: Yes.

Avatar: …Shirō's ideals are a lot of things: They are optimistic, naive, and maybe even a little foolish. This world we live in is a cruel one. A world like the one we live in will swallow Shirō whole.

Archer: Agreed.

Avatar: I once thought the way Shirō did. I started learning magic because I wanted to help others. But the more I helped other people, the more I realized how little it did in the grand scheme of things. People will always get hurt, or die. I'll still stick my neck out for others—it's why I'm helping you all after all—but…I don't expect anything to come of it other than knowing a few friends of mine are safe.

Archer: So why?

Avatar (smiles): Because even though I know it's foolish…I still truly prefer Shirō's naive desire to be a hero of justice who can save everyone to the cold reality we live in. Optimists—if they can stay that way—are a light for this world, a light that alleviates the burdens of others. My light went out, I don't want the same to happen to him.

Archer: …I see.

Avatar: I don't know who you are, and what your story is, Archer, but if you really are a Heroic Spirit, then you—deep down—should understand how important it is for the world to have a light like Shirō.

Archer: …I'm sorry.

Avatar: You are?

Archer: Don't get me wrong, I still think it's all foolish, but…I never realized how highly you thought of him. It was never his ideals, it was what they did for you.

Avatar: …Archer, thank you. For what's it worth, I never thought you were a bad person. You simply have a different way of going about things. I'm just glad we could reconcile those differences. Now that we have…I would like us to be friends.

Archer: First…if you don't mind, I'd like to tell you something about myself. Would you permit me to stay a bit longer and speak?

Archer: (To think I'd grow to trust someone like her…)

Avatar: Of course, my friend.
