Shirou sat up with a start. "WHA?—" He found himself back in his room, with Saber kneeling at his side.

Saber frowned at him. "You were mortally wounded again, Shirou. I wish you wouldn't throw your life away needlessly to protect me."

Shirou ignored Saber's scolding. "I don't think I'll ever get used to being killed," he said quietly, "or to coming back to life."

"I have," an introspective Saber said. "My mortal life ended more than a millenium ago. I was dead for a very long time."

"Being alive is better than being dead," Shirou noted.

"Indeed," Saber said.
