Yeah, I don't see Rider as someone who is usually particularly emotional, but she cares deeply for Sakura and, as you say, spending years living with her is only going to deepen that. Plus, she knows the potential that Sakura has because she's seen the person she became, so the idea of world in which that potential was destroyed really hurts, especially when it was done by someone who she trusts.
It was a great post, but now it's got me itching to reply...
Yeah, I understand that. Your post was the same. There was just no way Rider was going to keep quiet there....
I think it made perfect sense for her to cry, Sakura and Rider were far too close for that to not happen
Yeah. Plus, remember that she's not Rider from canon, she's Rider from 30 years post-HF. Not only is Sakura her beloved master, she's
family. They've lived together for 30 years, she's seen Sakura develop into the person she is now, she's seen her kids grow up (and helped raise them to some extent). Her bond goes beyond just protectiveness, she knows Sakura much better as a
person now, and they've had plenty of good times together.
And, also, another thing is that Shirou, Rin etc. are
also her family. Shirou isn't quite on the same level as Sakura, but she still does care for him. To see a version of him that murdered Sakura in cold blood
really hurts, because she knows that she can trust the Shirou she knows to do almost
anything for Sakura. It's bad enough to know that Sakura is dead, to find out that Shirou killed her is even worse.
Eh, OPOI, what happened to your post?
Forgot it wasn't my turn when I wrote it, so I deleted it to be fair. I still have a copy, should I put it back?
It doesn't matter if you post "out of turn" if you're not really doing anything that is going to cause problems for other people. I mean, my post was out of turn
too, I just didn't think Rider would wait.
