Shirou: There's no way!

Kazuto: If you don't believe me then let me come with you. At least you're not going get to stab in the chest.

...

We're currently walking to the church... Which is suicidal.

Shirou: Kotomine, I came to talk.

There's no one there. But I'm hearing voices.

Stay away...

Shirou: This voice...

Kazuto: Shirou...

Even though it's not affecting me, I keep Shirou in my arms just in case he falls. He should have fully healed.

Shirou: Kotomine? Is he in the back again?

Kazuto: ...

Turn back...

Turn back...

Turn back...

We continue walking, searching for Kotomine. Then suddenly Shirou is like holding his breath like it's hard to breathe.

Kazuto: Shirou, are you okay?!

Don't come...

No one's there...

Go home...

Don't stop...

Don't go down there...

Kotomine's not here...

There's nothing there...

No one's there...

Down there...

Despite feeling a bit nauseous, we continue. Then we see stairs in the darkness In a small indent between the walls one would normally miss because of the shadows is a narrow staircase.

This is...a really bad idea.

We gone to the stairs.

...

We reached an underground temple.

Shirou: An underground temple.

Then Shirou notice and goes to the door as I follow him.

What was inside was... Corpses. Living corpses.

Orphaned children from the fire 10 years ago for the sake of providing Gilgamesh with mana.

If it wasn't for Kiritsugu, Shirou could have been one of them.

Shirou: No, it can't be!

???: Welcome, Emiya Shirou and Homura Kazuto.

I turned to see Kirei.

Kazuto: Kirei...

Shirou: You...

Kirei: Even if it is a church, walking into it's innermost parts is something questionable to do.

Before even Shirou place enough distance between, I blocked Lancer's strike with Ice Calibur.
