🐍—It was just like Sakura to care about others over herself, to put them before her needs. But, that was one thing Rider couldn’t allow. Especially, when it was she, that Sakura was trying to put before herself. ❝That is very kind of you Sakura, but it’s not me you need. You need him, and with this…..You’ll be able to live the life you wish. ❞
All they had to do was win, all Rider had to do was obtain the grail for her master. For a girl, she saw so much of her younger self in. Slowly, Rider’s hand moved to remind her blinder. ❝Go, Sakura….I’ll keep Berserker at bay, while you get the boy out of here. The rest will be up that Saber of his…❞ Rider added, her blinder falling to the ground. But, instead of vanishing like normal. She paused, glancing back at the girl she loved so dearly. The girl, that made her remember that she wasn’t just a monster. That she could care, that she could desire to protect something once again.
❝Thank you, Sakura. For teaching me to love again.❞
