Why make we friends, knowing each time it cannot last?

[Henry sighs heavily.]

Saber and Irisviel are gone.

I grew up on tales of King Arthur and his court. Never did I imagine that I would meet King Arthur, or see Excalibur with my own eyes. [He huffs a short laugh.] 'Twas a surprise to discover that she was a woman. It was an honour to fight beside her. It was a greater honour to know her beyond her legend. Saber was an estimable knight, and a steadfast friend.

Irisviel was the kindest woman I knew, lively and never meek. Despite the hardships she endured, she met everything with wonder and joy. [Briefly dry, he adds:] Even ghastly furniture. There was no trace of bitterness in her. Irisviel's spirit shone bright. Her company made it easier to endure this long imprisonment.

Being here was a blessing to them. Saber once spake this to me: their time together was once measured in days, not months. Though perhaps selfish when others suffered distress, she was thankful for this place.

May God rest —and unite again— their souls.
