I... please do! Call me Saber!

[ they are so flustered. ]

[noirges]

[ smiles ]

Then I will.

... seems like that person is really close to you, though.

[rippled]

... yes, that is Iori. He's my Master.

[ a pause. ]

... erm, partner.

[noirges]

Does Master mean something specific to you?

Though I understand the idea of being partners with someone.

[rippled]

Hm, yes...

[ this week is hell they have to explain fate/ after avoiding it for so long. ]

I have been dead long before showing up here. I am a Heroic Spirit, also known as a Servant. I was summoned to participate in a competition to compete for a wish, and I was paired up with a human. This pairing made him my Master, as I could only exist in the world due to my tie to him. That's Iori. We fought together.

[noirges]

Ah...

[ a nod, trying to follow along, but at least yves had some context beforehand ]

What was your wish...? Did Iori have one too?

[rippled]

Mine... wasn't that important.

But Iori wanted a peaceful world, so I was supporting his wish.

[noirges]

I do like Iori's wish... but I feel like yours is important too. I don't think a wish needs to be grand and selfless to be worthy, even though I do think you're a kind person.

[rippled]

[ they rub the back of their neck awkwardly. ]

I understand what you mean. But I think it's fine. Iori's wish has become my own.

[noirges]

[ smiles... ]

... then that's even sweeter. I'm glad you were able to find each other.

[rippled]

... yes. I'm glad, too.

[ they go quiet for a moment, and then open their mouth and this happens. sorry i just wanted to force you to see him. ]

Ugh. Ignore that one.

[noirges]

[ HELP ME ]

... oh, what... loud friends you have.

[ suRE ]

[rippled]

Again, ignore it. It is better to not bring up Boss.

... in any case, all issues regarding the Waxing Moon do not matter anymore. It's been destroyed.

[noirges]

Is... the Waxing Moon the battle you were involved in?

[rippled]

The Waxing Moon Ritual. The Waxing Moon is the item that will grant the wish in the end.

[noirges]

Ah... was that what you wanted?

[ since they don't seem heartbroken about it? ]

[rippled]

Yes, I destroyed it with my own hands.

We had learned that the way it was created... there was a lot of things not right about it. And if it continued to exist, there was a chance something like the Waxing Moon Ritual could happen again, and even more death and destruction would follow. It had to be destroyed.

[noirges]

Ah...

[ he nods in understanding. it makes sense, even if it's too bad that what saber was summoned for had to disappear ]

I see. Then... I'm glad you were able to accomplish your goal, even if it meant giving up your wish. I hope that you're able to find peace with your partner another way.

[rippled]

... mm. Yeah, we definitely found it.

[ give me a memshare that isn't fish :lucagun: ]

[noirges]

[ about to respond when the mirrors shift

I sincerely respect you from the bottom of my heart for loving another person so much. ]

[rippled]

[ there's a pause... and then they just smile. ]

You really are a good guy, Yves!

[noirges]

[ baby... yves looks surprised for a moment - and then sheepish ]

... I think I was just a kid trying his best.

It's a little sad, isn't it? For everyone to give up on you... so if I could help even a little, I'm glad.

[rippled]

It is very easy to just think of someone as beyond hope... a kid trying his best can still change someone for the better.

[ they pat him. ]

[noirges]

[ patted... he lowers his head to make it easier for them and laughs a bit ]

Thanks, then... I'll keep doing my best.

Oh—but the person I met at the end is my partner.

[rippled]

Ohh, is he?

[ that's exciting. ]

What's he like?
