Even if they're not yours, you can care about them more than anything else. [He smiles at the other man. Sakura and Rin. The names are familiar enough, though it's been a long time. The Tohsaka children, although Sakura had been sent to live with the Matou family. Yes, the story is beginning to make sense to him. He'd known all about his enemies in the Grail War.] No, I don't think it would be.

It's--it would hurt, so much, to hope and then have that hope destroyed again.] I've only just arrived. I don't know if they're here. But you're right. I should be with them. I'll look for them.
