A Little More Time

The Eighth Contract ✻ Return of the Assassin

EP 17 Saber watches over a resting Irisviel.
Irisviel Saber…
Saber Irisviel, how are you feeling?
Irisviel Looks like I made you worry. I’m sorry.
Saber It’s fine. As long as you really are all right, I could ask for nothing more.
EP 17 As requested, camp Einzbern meets up with camp Tohsaka to negotiate. Irisviel does not allow herself to show weakness until alone with Maiya, her life nearing its end.
Maiya Why are you telling me all this?
Irisviel Hisau Maiya. You would never pity me. You’d acknowledge me. That’s why.
Maiya Madam, I… I have always thought of you as a more distant figure.
Irisviel That’s not true. Do you understand?
Maiya Yes. Even at the cost of my own life… Irisviel, I will protect you to the very end. So… Please die for Emiya Kiritsugu. So his dream can become a reality.
Irisviel Thank you.
EP 20 Kiritsugu comes to see Irisviel one last time.
Irisviel It’s you, Kiritsugu. I’m not dreaming, am I? You really… came to see me again.
Kiritsugu Yes, that’s right.
Irisviel Thank you. […] You know… I really am happy. I’ve loved… and I’ve been loved. I’ve had a husband and a daughter for nine whole years. You gave me everything. All the happiness in the world that was never meant for me.
Kiritsugu I’m sorry. I wanted to show you more of the outside world.
Irisviel No. It’s fine. If there’s any happiness that I have yet to experience, give it all to Ilya. Your daughter… Our beloved Ilya. Don’t forget to bring Ilya to this country one day. Show her everything I wasn’t able to see. The cherry blossoms… The summer clouds…
Kiritsugu I will.
EP 20 Irisviel and Maiya seek to understand each other’s reasons to fight at Kiritsugu’s side in this war to the very end.
Irisviel You’re right. There’s no way I could truly understand Kiritsugu’s ideals. It’s as you say. I don’t understand a thing about the world Kiritsugu is trying to change. I simply borrowed all of my ideals from him. But don’t let him know that. I’ve always told him that he’s doing the right thing. I’ve told him those ideals are worth my life. And I pretended to understand him.
Maiya Then, Madam, do you have no wish of your own?
Irisviel A wish? No, I have one. […] What I desire is an end to the conflict. […] I want this fourth battle to be the last Holy Grail War there will be.
Maiya For your daughter?
Irisviel If Kiritsugu and I fail, it will be Ilya’s turn next. It is the destiny of every Einzbern homunculus. That’s why I want to be the last one. If that comes to pass, Ilya will be able to live out her life as a human being.
