tvk | ITP: Not a True Self

[Action/Fleeting Glance; AKA Locked From Others]
[He had seen the others viewing their other selves lately, and had been in contact with Lancer's.

He was completely blank on the current situation, until he was caught off-guard one night after meeting Lancer's Shadow.

Those wandering around the Velvet Key will find a scuffle going on between... Two Shirou...? But after a while one of the Shirou disappeared, and the real one was left gasping for breath on the ground, before he got up himself, and went back to the hotel.

Shirou was unavailable for the night if you tried to call him after that, but for some reason, a weird feed came on the next day...]

[Video]
I don't exist.

[There was a toneless voice coming from the screen, which was obscured by a strange sword.]

I never existed ever since that fire.

[The voice continued droning on as the sword was lifted, showing Shirou with his eyes covered by his bangs.]

The me that existed could only be achieved by one foolish man saving a life that should not be saved.

[He then turned off-screen, where the signs of one struggling with a hold could be heard.]

Just stop talking-!

[If the Shirou on-screen heard the other Shirou yelling, he didn't show a sign of noticing it, and continued.]

I suppose it was a mistake, for I know that this borrowed ideal would betray me in the end, but out of duty to the man who saved me, I carried on.

For what...?

[A slight hint of despair flowed through his voice as he turned to the camera.]

Tell me, Prospero. What should you do to someone who is not supposed to exist? Do you kill them to end their suffering? Or do you let them chase that futile dream of existing?

Your answer might just save a soul from living a life paved with despair tonight.
