The Slums
Cherry Lover:
Shirou
Shirou started at Sakura with utter bemusement as she seemingly talked to herself, at one point momentarily reverting to her own mannerisms before returning to those of her sister. It was very obvious to him that she was not remotely sane, but he really had no idea how to react to that, especially given that she was still holding him prisoner.
"Uh...", Shirou responded, unsure what to say.
Finally, he decided he needed to get to the bottom of everything.
"So, Sakura", he said, uncertainly, obviously confused, "why are you calling me Emiya-Kun? Did you pick that up from your sister or something?"

Rin
Rin flipped her hair, puffing out her cheeks in a pout. Her deep purple eyes strayed away from his face, a look of disappointment filling her face along with a slight flush.
"I'm Rin, Emiya-Kun. Isn't it obvious at this point..." Her voice sounded forlorn and defeated, uncharacteristically so.
He was such a dense fool.
Sakura
"Ah?" Sakura slithered out through the hole, her body losing definition around the waist that had halfway come out of the door. She leaned forward, looking at Joseph with honest interest. The red eyes gleamed dangerously at him before she cleared her throat.
"Ah, no, this is just a projection. My sister is busy with my body right now."
She cleared her throat.
"So, what is a child like you doing in these parts?"
Umbra of Chaos:
Joseph
"Interesting! You're two souls occupying one body? Could be separate or conjoined, a link or meld, maybe even a fusion. If I had better facilities I would be able to separate you two if you wanted that. That would take some time...?" He tapped his cheek as his brow furrowed in thought. Then he realized the second part of her sentence. "Wait a moment, I'm no child. I'm... Huh."
A frown appeared on his face. "It was two hundred or three hundred years ago? No that's too short. It was older than that; I thought the dragons would be around forever but they were vanished almost half a millenia ago so it can't be centuries. It was a millenia maybe? More... it feels so much longer than that. Ah, I don't remember. Why don't I remember?" The veins under his flesh squirmed as if they were alive, like worms that pulsed and stretched against his skin.
"How long has it been? How much longer...? My head hurts." He reached towards his face and pressed his fingers against his eye. It bulged a bit, a natural reaction, but Joseph was used to this by now. It was easy to push and scrape it out with just his fingers, cramming the digits deeper but failed to go through the eye socket. He held up a finger to the shadow as if to tell her to wait, his whole eye still entirely calm. He pulled a scalpel from his shadow and began to cut away, deeper and deeper as blood poured from the socket. But soon enough he had found his prize. Retrieved from the carved up inside of his head, he pulled free a maggot.
"Phew, so that's what it was." His eye was already knit back together, and besides the blood he looked fine. "I'm sorry about that. They're really into rotting meat, and it's hard to make sure I get all of them after a particularly rough tussle. But really, I'm not a kid. I'm almost two millennia years old! Give or take a few years."
Cherry Lover:
Shirou
Shirou sighed again at the girl's response. It was obvious now that the girl genuinely believed that she was Rin, but exactly why she believed that, he didn't know. Whilst she was obviously somewhat insane, she didn't seem to be acting unusual even despite her insistance that she was her sister.
"OK, Rin, then why do you look like your sister?" he asked, accepting her claim to be Rin in order to avoid aggravating her further.

Rin
Rin reached into the shadow and pulled out a glass of wine, taking a sip. She then frowned, raising her eyebrow.
"Shouldn't you at least pretend to believe me, Emiya Kun? I've been in my sister's body for eight years now, sharing a body with her after an unfortunate accident during the Holy Grail War."
