Action; Closed to Sola, Uryuu, anyone they give permission
[The longer Sola's out there, the more chances there are of someone explaining Kiritsugu's identity to her, the more chances everyone related to her will find out in turn. He was hoping he could go the rest of his life without playing cat and mouse with magi, but unfortunately, the situation calls for exactly that, if only for a moment. While Kayneth is out, Kiritsugu puts his plans into action. Using voice clips would be a valid strategy if it weren't so out of character for Kayneth. In lieu of that, he'll have to resort to something else.]
[Recently attaining the ability to detect Shadows and Persona-users through his own Persona proves convenient, as Kiritsugu can now map out the trajectories of different individuals. The relationship between Shadows and Personas is something to be explored, but only to someone who wishes to know more about the intricacies of the system. Right now, Kiritsugu simply wishes for results. The thought that Ryuunosuke's behind all of this has certainly crossed his mind, but he's not one to take chances. Instead, he investigates the locations around the city in which people have been murdered, focusing on the spot where the index is at its lowest. Most other locations would be swarming with police. Then it's simply a matter of putting a bait there.]
[Through proper investigation, one can decipher the printer used to make a document, which is exactly why Kiritsugu buys a used one, disposing of it immediately after he's done printing a message. A threat. He leaves it under the door to Sola's room, specifically directed at her, falsely indicating that Lancer is in danger of becoming yet another victim. Ideally, it would have been directed at Kayneth, who would have been out at this time, so that it would be less evident what its intentions are, but that would imply knowledge of their former Master/Servant relationship, which would rule out suspects unaware of Kiritsugu's world. Therefore, one has to rely on the more common knowledge of Sola having feelings for Lancer. There is no specified time, as Kiritsugu has to rely on the hope that the murderer will show up there at some point before daybreak.]
[He does not observe her progress. To do so would risk the very point of this gambit. Instead, he simply waits until the news report in the morning.]
[It's getting easier. Slowly. Kiritsugu does not wish to go back to his former persona, but as long as Shirou's here... what choice does he have? Being killed himself is inconsequential, making information concerning his actions of little value by itself, but if Shirou's put in danger due to his relationship to him? Then he'll take action.]

...secondly, and more importantly. If Lancer was in danger, why the hell didn't they keep him safe?!
Waiting for Kayneth to return is out of the question. If Lancer is in danger, despite her distress and damaged feelings over the situation, she cannot leave him like this. The thought that there is little she could even do is easily dismissed. The thought of strategy is less so. She doesn't have time to plot out a proper strategy. The most she can do is to grab something to use as a weapon - even a broken pipe might do. Failing that, she grabs a kitchen knife and ties it one-handedly to her wrist with the ribbon on her chest so as not to lose it, desecrates a stool for its metal leg, and heads out, leaving a note for Kayneth. Just in case.
And then she runs, heading for the location in question. It could be a trap. But if it wasn't, then she would be abandoning Diarmuid to his fate.
Finding him absent there, she frowns to herself and began to look around. If the murderer was around here, then surely he'd be noticeable. At the very least, she could stake it out in case the person had meant the murderer would target him here.]

Right now he was humming to himself and walking around like a totally normal person on an evening stroll. Of course he was armed - he hardly ever went anywhere without a knife, and Vetala was ever-present in the back of his mind like a really bad headache that you gave to someone else. By killing them with it.
So that comparison didn't actually make a lot of sense.]
