[....somehow, Arturia isn't surprised he figured it out. What other excuse could she have beyond that? No, not even an excuse. She had seen signs: little things. Things like how she never saw a sign on his door and chalked it up to intentionally never finding out Shirou's room. Things like how he seemed almost too nice, too idealized, and she kept chalking it up to her memory being muddied. Things like how he seemed almost too understanding of her and never once made proclamations he would somehow save her which she assumed meant he had grown up somehow.]
I know. [Hadn't she recently told someone while she only had memories of the Grail War that, as the older party in the relationship, she should be the responsible one? She thought not giving in to the feelings she held had been the responsible thing.
The responsible thing would have been to look more into a threat such as Avenger once she heard of his presence here, rather than let it go.]
What do you mean by borrowed it?
[She can hazard a guess. This is Avenger, a Servant, and he reeks of the Grail, of Angra Mainyu. There's only two things he could be: the being himself or another like her other self who had been bathed in its waters and come out of it cursed. With how strong the aura is, she guesses he's Angra Mainyu himself.]
