[ After Lancer's memories were on display for all to see, Saber did the only respectable thing she can do: ignore her phone. For these were things precious to those who held them and who was she to witness events that were to be kept a secret? It felt cheap, dishonest, and for the woman who held chivalry above all else, these were things she could never engage in. So silence from the King of Knights was becoming more and more common throughout the day.
That was until evening. There's a public call with her phone as a giant paw bats at the device. It seems one of the big cubs knocked it over and it doesn't take long before his brother joins in on trying to make it react. Since it is Saber's phone though, there will be a barrage of memories that flood it.
✦ A memory of an emotionless king, who struck down foe after foe. Even in the brief moment of this invasion of privacy, one might be able to see that there's not a single person who trusts or admires her. Even the Knights of the Round Table keep their distance.
The battles of the new king were indeed the acts of a god of war.
The king always led from the front.
No enemies could stand in her way.
Arturia, the god of war.
There was no defeat for a body admired as a dragon in human form.
In Britain, there was no other man as ruthless as she. There is no need to think of military tactics and to compare the crimes against humanity she so readily inflicted. Using nearby villages, sucking them dry of all their resources and leaving the people there to suffer in agony, and all for what? Another victory to be placed under her belt?
✦ Then there is another memory of a knight who so boldly stood up to his king; a man in red with a face as identical as her own. While the details of this memory are vague, it's seen that he's the one to deliver the final blow to her.
✦ Another memory is of a familiar man to some. It's a brief one; Saber taking her own sword and lopping off his head with it. This sort of thing is natural for Servants in the Holy Grail War though, as they are meant to kill Masters.
✦ ❝Throw away your sword, and be my wife.❞ An arrogant voice, familiar to some, will speak out in the next memory. There's fire, fire everywhere, but before her is a man in brilliant armor. ❝Abandon these pointless ideals and vows. These things will only restrict you and bring you misfortune. In future you need only desire me and live under my protection. In that case I vow, on my honor as King of everything, that I will grant you all the happiness in the world.❞
✦ Within a second, there's another memory of the Holy Grail and Saber's brilliant golden sword destroying it. The chaos that comes as a result is inevitable: the sun turns dark, the mud that engulfs everything, only for the rest to be consumed by the fires that take the lives of hundreds. The Fuyuki City fire was caused by her hands and her hands alone.
✦ It's another time or at least another place than before, Gilgamesh reaching out to touch at Saber's face affectionately. ❝You are a hateful woman. You oppose me to the very end. But I shall forgive you. Some things are beautiful because they cannot be obtained.❞ It might not be hard to tell, but it seems as though he's dying because of her.
✦ Last, but not least, is the memory of that same "black sun" as before. Even if it's ominous, it seems as though history is repeating itself. There's only the voice of certain boy issuing the command to destroy the Holy Grail.
It ends with Saber's green eyes gazing down at the phone without a hint of emotion in them. Sometime during that barrage of guilt, she woke up to the sound of her lions trying to eat the phone. Slowly, she picks it up only to disconnect it. After all, there is no need for her to explain any of her actions or to give an excuse for how she's behaved in the past. ]
