The flight touches down in Fuyuki. Irisviel steps onto the jetway, her white coat a brilliant contrast against the grey tarmac, her face alight with the thrill of a world she has never known. Close behind, Saber moves with a soldier's grace, her black suit impeccable, her expression composed beneath the formal line of her tie. They ignore the curious glances and meet Maiya beside the waiting car. Inside, the air grows still as Irisviel asks after Kiritsugu. Saber's silence is heavy, burdened by the memory of his cold disapproval. Irisviel reaches across the seat to cover Saber's leather-clad hand with her own, her touch a gentle anchor. She suggests they lose themselves in the city's shops first, her voice soft with confession: the Einzbern castle was her entire world until this moment.
