What is the point of all this? Is there a purpose at all, or is our presence here merely a game to some power much higher than ourselves?

Arturia's left once more. Irisviel as well, and several others. How long until I am the only one remaining in this house?

[Diarmuid deleted that last line, though not as quickly as he might have hoped.]

Why do I persist in the blind and desperate hope that things will improve? They may yet, only to sharply dive into utter despair once more.

Tell me why I should treasure and fight for a world that does nothing but take those I care for.

...I want to leave.

[To those that knew him well enough, that last line may well have carried a very dark subtext to it. What remained for him before his arrival? A violent death, return to the Throne of Heroes...and sweet erasure of the kind memories of those lost that burned through his heart.]

[It sounded much more enticing than it should have.]

[Realizing what she did, she stammers. She's not one to use violence to knock sense into people.Her husband is the exception though.]

S-sorry. I don't know what came over me there.

I know, but we need to keep going. So long as you don't let yourself fall into that despair, you'll be okay. You have us, Diarmuid and don't ever forget that.

You do not need to apologize. Truly, it may have been a necessity. [Diarmuid raised a hand to his face--that stung quite a bit, to his surprise.] Though I think that to be the first time a woman has ever actually slapped me.

Though this place seems painfully empty with but myself and Father... I will do my best to remember that, Saori.
