Weren't you kind of young, back then? [He can't imagine it was a mutual thing, unless there's something very wrong with the guy. Or he was also twelve.]

Can I ask why he stabbed you? [Though it's obviously a very personal question.]

What wish?

[He's all but given up on making sense of this girl and her weird story, but for some reason, he's still making an effort. He guesses that's what he does: make efforts.]

I don't know about this grail, but maybe he came back for some other reason?

Age is meaningless to fated lovers.

[It wasn't mutual at all, but over the past eight years, her thoughts have become deluded and her memory warped. It happens.]

At first, I didn't understand it, but when I thought, I realized why he must have done it. [After all, she hadn't had much to do besides think.] By casting me into the Grail, I gained this immortal body. And when he returns to me this time, I'll return the favor, so we can be together forever!

[When he asks about Saber's wish, her expression shifts just slightly. The light to her eyes is just as innocent as before, but it's a different kind of excitement than what comes with her love for Saber.]

His wish to see the Holy Grail activated. I'll give him the thing he wants most in the entire world! That's why he has to have come back for me!

No, that's not really... [There's no such thing as fated lovers, Cloud wants to say, but he's getting the idea that this girl isn't going to listen to anything he has to say.]

Age is pretty important if you're a kid.

[Whatever this grail is, he's getting the idea that casting someone into it probably isn't a good thing. Like casting Sephiroth into the Lifestream. Confused as he may be, he's already on Team Not Throwing People Into the Grail, Whatever It Is.] I don't know if that's a good idea. What's that gonna do, exactly?

Yeah, but... he's not here.

[Just going to point out the obvious as he likes to do.]

Then it's good that I'm not a kid anymore, isn't it?

I told you. It'll give him an incarnate body, so we can be together until the end of time. [Though, well, with the amount of mana she has, she could probably sustain him indefinitely regardless.] It doesn't matter that he isn't here. Either he'll return to me, or I'll return to him. That's all there is to it.

[And, obviously, she isn't going to believe otherwise.]

Yeah, but... [You still look like one, Cloud doesn't say. And it's a bit creepy.]

Right. Sounds great. [No, it doesn't. It just makes no sense to him, that's all. He's clearly not going to break through this delusion about Mr. Stabby Storybook she's got going on, as it seems fairly entrenched. He feels kind of sorry for this guy, whoever he is.]

So, what're you going to do til then? Since he's not here.

[Cloud: not the best at subject changing.]

[It's enough to make her stop talking about Saber, for once, so his attempts are probably at least adequate.]

I'm not sure yet. Whatever seems fun, I guess. [The place seems a little desolate, but there are people around, and she knows there's a coffeeshop. It can't be all bad, then.] It's been a while since I've been able to go out like this. Maybe I'll try to make some friends.

[Actually, it's strange and a little lonely being away from the Grail, but...]
