Sakura looked down on hearing the woman's words. For a moment, she wondered how to respond. Whilst she had come to terms with her past, it wasn't something she particularly enjoyed thinking about.
"Well", she began, before she came to a sudden realisation that the woman knew more than she should have.
"Wait, how do you.. Oh, I see, you must be... Oh.... That's why you felt so familiar...", she said, rambling to herself as she put the pieces together in her mind.
She's a Grail, just like me, and, like her daughter. And, she surely has to be the Grail from the previous war, the one Zouken implanted pieces of into me to turn me into a Grail....
I had pieces of this woman inside me for 10 years, no wonder she feels familiar....
Hmm, I guess that she's from a world where she survived somehow. I wonder what it's like....
Sakura stood there for a moment, lost in her thoughts, before realising that she had probably made absolutely no sense. However, just as she was about to try to explain what she meant, a blonde woman came racing around the corner.
Saber? she thought, looking down at the ground rather than at the woman she had corrupted and forced into her service.
To her surprise, the white-haired homonculus also addressed the woman as Saber and, further, was clearly very pleased to see her. And, even more surprisingly, the homonculus then apologised, as if it was a case of mistaken identity.
Hmm, yes, I recall Saber being a lot shorter than this. And, I can't believe Saber would ever talk like that, either....
Having gathered her thoughts somewhat, she put on a somewhat false smile and spoke.
"I am not artificial, I am a normal human magus. But, yes, I am also a Grail. It.. it's difficult for me to explain how. My Grandfather put... things in me to make me this way", she said, looking down at the ground.
"Anyway", she continued, brightening up somewhat. "We should introduce ourselves. I am Emiya Sakura", she said, putting emphasis on the family name Shirou had given to her, as if she was reminding herself that her past was behind her and that the future contained only more happiness.
