I trust Raiga Will find a way to kill Rin

But if we don't talk with Rin like BB says, Is too likely Taiga will die

We are talking to Rin to Save Taiga. Very likely Rin won't survive the encounter, either by forcing Shirou's hand again or Raiga's men getting her

But I fear he is commiting to Act under the possibility he Will Lose Taiga.

We can, we Must, Save Taiga
 
Nasty ultimatum Erien, ugh (Good thing). Well it's either
A) Rin
Walk into what is probably a trap (we do that),
Bite the hand that feeds us,
Screw our Casters over (gotta move in somewhere else AGAIN),
BUT
Give Taiga the best chance of living (we've committed to saving her no matter what),
Get real closure with Rin, with Shirou and Ayako (whether or not Rin lives).

B) Monster
Risk Taiga dying (losing her and Assassin)
Risk dropping everything to do with Rin+BB+Saber,
BUT
Prevent more needless, innocent deaths,
Keep in Raiga's good graces (for now)

If I'm being honest, I really like the drama of picking Rin. I'd like seeing the end of their conflict happening directly (if possible). Also, a yakuza's home has been a little too cushy for what it is. Shirou will probably find conflict with Raiga again even if Raiga does save Taiga; we were already on thin ice. Most importantly, I don't think Shirou here would risk Taiga's life (I know we did 2 choices ago but this is different damnit). He made that last choice to get her back no matter what. Let's follow through.

Okey, so... Raiga wants to prove that he can take control of the situation, that is the reason of that ultimatum I believe.

But I don't know how could he really get around to saving Taiga tbh. Rin is in a very good position with her hostage and Raiga and his men not having a reliable way to get her back.
There is also the fact that Rin is very cracked right now, with Saber Alter and BB, one more usefull than the other in direct confrontation.

Does anyone have an idea how could Raiga and his men win? Because I don't see it. Maybe Taiga could call up on Assasin when/if she can, to run away. But I don't know if it would be enough or if she can be called from the phone.

I think this is the best way to get Taiga back and preventing Raiga from losing more of their men, or losing his life directly.

We would lose the mansion, but well... is just a mansion. Everyone will have to move to Ayako's house XD. Or a workshop near the temple, maybe.

Raiga, why can't we work together? :(

I forgot about the mansion as well, but consider that we could also give Medea a bit of deja vu
Option 1: there is a certain temple with a connection to our good friend Issei, and we know it's a big spot for mana. Only problem is Sakura ptsd, probably
Option 2: kick Kirei out of the church, now it's his turn to be homeless. Fair odds we have to get there eventually for Brihannala and prooobably the dog throwing a temper tantrum. Downsides are having to go there and fight off some big threats, having to deal with Kirei in any portion bc he's just the worst (but only in the way that you call your favorite villains the worst bc they're great at being villainous), and living in a church.

Ahhh, trolley problem my accursed foe we meet again. There's also a pretty twisted logic in disregarding the thoughts and emotions of others for their safety while simultaneously ignoring one's own.

Honestly if write ins were available I'd ask for Rits to loredump on us everything she knows about BB in a secondary update before we slam the trigger on a path for this current update, but c'est la vie.

I've been following since close to the beginning but this is the one that absolutely I wanted to make sure I got in on the vote for. Taiga is absolutely dead if we send Raiga after Rin. And besides, we promised we'd go talk to Rin and a good hero doesn't break a promise he can keep.
 
[X] [Go after Rin]
I think this is the best choice.
Shirou has been ignoring Rin for all this time and now it bites him in the Arse. He CAN'T ignore her now, especially with BB around.
Analysing the two choices:
-Find the Monster. There's no guarantee we can deal with him. Rin Dies, Raiga dies and, most importantly, Taiga dies. Raiga might be able to kill Rin, but he can't do anything about Saber Alter and BB.
-Talk to Rin. It's a long time coming and, as I said, we ignored her enough. Things are always iffy with BB around, but Should things go well, we have Taiga and Raiga alive and possibly an alliance with Rin and, most importantly, Saber Alter to more effectively deal with the Monster.

Remember, Taiga, Shirou's sister in all but blood is at stake. He was willing to Kill Rin in HER OWN ROUTE for Taiga's sake.
He ain't listening to Raiga on this.

Results so far.

Route defining votes suck eh.
 
Would be extremly funny if I somehow predict the outcome, but:

I was imagining Shirou talking with Rin, we get Taiga back, and just when things looks will cool down between Shirou and Rin, Raiga's men pull out a Kiritsugu and shoot Rin dead

Pretty much what happened with Kayneth and Sola

Rin getting out of this one alive now that Raiga has his aim on her after the shit BB pulled out with Taiga sounds...unlikely.

That would be just stupid at this point tho. Would only add unnecessary angst and nothing else.
Either they kill her before Shirou arrives, or they don't.
Because if this happens, I can honestly see Caster or someone else killing Raiga or at least his men because all the trouble would have been for nothing. In this scenario, Rin's death won't promptly eliminate an angry Saber Alter or BB. It won't solve anything.
I'm not saying Rin should get away with being stupid and careless, mind you.
Just that her death would cause more problems to everyone involved. And ultimately break Sakura's heart and definitely hurt Taiga and Ayako, and Shirou himself.
