"Damn, sorry. There's been so many people from my world here I guess I kinda figured you'd have picked up more than that."

"Yeah, there's seven of us--'heroic spirits', we're called--summoned into the classes Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. The Holy Grail's said to be an omnipotent thing that grants any wish of the last Servant and Master pair remaining, so in an ideal war that didn't take a wrong turn anywhere we'd just kill each other like normal knights."

"Thing is, mages like keeping their magic and all that secret, so the war's fought at night away from your casual observer. I met Emiya on one of the first nights; he was in the wrong place at the wrong time while I was fighting Rin and her Archer."

"Policy is 'no witnesses', you know? I didn't like it any more than he did, but rule's a rule. So I stabbed him, realized...maybe an hour or so later that he didn't stay down, so I went to stab him again to finish the job."
Good times.
"That's when he summoned his own Servant, and that's how I met Saber."
