[weddingcake]

As much as an outsider has the right to know about a family's magic.

[ why do people keep questioning him about that decision? ]

Their methods are somewhat strange, but reasonable sacrifices must be made.

[retracing]

Reasonable sacrifices.

[weddingcake]

Of course. Were they unreasonable I would have made a different decision.

[ you irritate him mildly less than that Kariya guy so he's willing to be a tiny bit less cold about it, but he still thinks he's right ]

Only a magus could truly understand.

[retracing]

Only a magus could understand the 'reasonable sacrifice' of shipping your daughter off to be raped by bugs?

[yes let's dickface]

I've never been so happy to have not been a true magus.

[weddingcake]

[ wow he never thought of it in those terms ]

The path of magecraft is often painful...

[retracing]

[WELP

THAT WAS YOUR SHOT

YOU BLEW IT]

It's lucky for you Rin is here and Sakura isn't, or you'd probably be dying again soon.

[weddingcake]

[ wow that implication kind of hurts

but it isn't your place to make it, so he won't falter ]

I had Sakura's best interests in mind.

[retracing]

I'll believe that's true only because I'm unfortunately familiar with the depths of how stupid humans can be. But the facts are still that your daughter was abandoned by her true family and brutalized by her adopted one. And all she got out of it was the end of the Matou house.

But maybe you'd consider that a success? One family line that will never be competition for Tohsaka.

[weddingcake]

...

[ actually not sure how to respond to that, so give him a moment ]

...I'd like to hear it from her if she feels that way. A stranger has no room to speak for her.

[retracing]

You gave her up and died when she was five... isn't it?

So I knew her three times as long as you did.

Anyway, like I said. Sakura isn't here.

[weddingcake]

[ slight frown ]

If this is what it seems, that's good to know.

[retracing]

Everyone here has died.

[weddingcake]

Then she hasn't.

[a pause]

But Rin has?

[retracing]

She didn't die in any of the timelines I'm familiar with. Rin has, in whatever version of events she's from.

[weddingcake]

Multiple timelines? I see...

[retracing]

[shrug]

Mostly variations on the fifth war, but at least two from the fourth.

[weddingcake]

Thank you for that information. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm sure I have things to do.

[ better than talking to this very unpleasant person anyway ]

[retracing]

I'm sure you do too. Just don't forget, Rin is my master, so I'll be around.
