[ definitely awkward now... but, hey. Athena has something to say about that. ]

My mom died when I was young, too. And my memory was so hazy, I thought I killed her.

It's pretty difficult to recall things when you've buried them in your subconscious.

[ YEAH PSYCHOLOGY TERMS look at me!!!! ]

[projections]

But that's just what you thought, right? You didn't actually kill her. [Athena loves her mom and there's enough proof of that. He shouldn't ask anymore questions.]

Well, yeah. It's normal for people to forget painful experiences.

I'm sorry Athena.

[psycholawgy]

Yeah, I didn't. My boss helped me uncover the truth.

[ And she gives Shirou the brightest of smiles. ]

You don't have to say sorry. I'm sorry for bringing up a bad memory for you.

[projections]

I'm happy to hear that and you don't have to apologize to me either, idiot. [She's smiling so much he had to call her that.]

It happened a while ago and I can't even remember it.

[psycholawgy]

H- Hey! You just called me an idiot!

[ SHE'S SO SHOCKED. She never thought Shirou could spout such a word! ]

[projections]

[Shirou just chuckles a little. You heard nothing. ]

You're making a funny face.

[psycholawgy]

You called me an idiot!

[projections]

I was just voicing my thoughts out loud. [Maybe he shouldn't do that anymore.]

I'll refrain from calling you an idiot if that upsets you.

[psycholawgy]

No, it's funny!

[ PUNCHES YOU ON THE SHOULDER. ]

You're a baka too!

[projections]

[Shirou frowns in confusion.]

Did you really feel the need to hit me over this? [He sort of asked for it but...]

I don't understand why it's funny for you.

[psycholawgy]

Huh? Should it not be funny?

[ Now she's the one confused. ]

[projections]

Hm, I dunno.

Wait, why don't you know? You're the one who said it was funny.

[His confusion is contagious.]

[psycholawgy]

Because... I just didn't expect it to come from you.

[projections]

If that's all it is then nothing we need to worry over.

[He shrugs and then takes a sip of his tea.]

[psycholawgy]

Yeah! I guess not.

[projections]

Oh, yeah. I completely forgot.

You brought some snacks earlier. We should eat them so they won't go to waste.

[It's food time cries]

[psycholawgy]

Oh, no! You can share those with Sakura and Rider.

[ Then she laughs. ]

I still haven't met Rider.

[projections]

Sure.

[Oh yeah she hasn't huh...]

Rider keeps to herself unlike Archer. She's usually quiet. Do you want me to call her?

[psycholawgy]

[ waves her hands around. ]

It's fine! I don't want to disturb her or anything!

[projections]

Hm, yeah.

I don't know what she's up to. I may end up calling for her at a bad time. [No thanks, he doesn't want that.]

Let's just leave her alone for now.

[psycholawgy]

Maybe on another day.

[projections]

Athena, how much do you know about the world I come from?

[Maybe she's heard more about Heroic Spirits from Archer or Saber, who knows?]

[psycholawgy]

Not a lot, actually. I know there's a lot of... [ vague hand gestures. ] timey-wimey stuff.

[projections]

You can try asking Rider for more details when you meet her.

She isn't all that talkative, but she can answer some of your questions.

[psycholawgy]

You mean you're not going to tell me?

[ Por que, Shirou!? ]
