"Do you truly not care about my past, Shirou?"

"Do you care about mine, Medea?"

I think should be nice, for more Medea content.

Also, was the island and all it's changes an analogy to the history of magic?

First vibrant and full of light in the Age of Gods (the island in its first showings), to then vanish into almost nothingness when it ended (the island frozen in time and crumbling). But magic is still a thing today, but it has turned into a pale imitation of what it once was, the practices have deteriorated (the island now, forgotten and reclaimed by nature as sign of abandonment).

Well Shirou, Medea now has some pent-up feelings, so better help her with you as "sacrifice"

Truly, Shirou Is the doofus that deserves to be happy with all the girls around him.

PS: Well, not Ritsuka and Mash since they are together and meant to leave

PS of the PS: When Illya going full Big-Sister move with Sakura, Ayako and Taiga, telling them about how much Shirou loves them and how they better not break his heart or else. Not Medea and Circe, they know well what they want and how it Will work

"I'll think about it." Illya says with a giggle that is far from innocent or comforting. "And worrying well, what's the point of that anyway? I can take care of myself, and my servant is the strongest in this war." Her smile then changes to something… far more like what you had gotten used to. Innocent. "So… let's get this sorted so that we can focus on what's important!"

"And… that would be?"

Illya reaches a hand forward, then slaps you on the chest with enough force to send you back onto the bed. "Tag! You're it!"

Ahh, this whole section. Ilya is always at her best when she's very intentionally juxtaposing her childish appearance and her older mind. This whole section nailed it right on the head.

"Explain yourself." Medea demands.

"How's Sakura?" you ask instead.

The lights get slightly brighter, the mood shifts slightly, but noticeably. "Alive." Medea says after a few moments, apparently rather caught off guard by the question. "The corruption has been removed, but she has yet to wake up. We have yet to discern why. But she is alive."

Silly Medea, did you think Shirou wasn't going to be more worried about Sakura than himself getting in trouble?

"Her servant also gave us rather… interesting information."

"Interesting how?"

"That is not for you to know." Caster responds.

"Then why bring it up at all?"

Shirou has just been confusing Medea at all times through this quest, and I'm here for it. It's excellent.

Her wings were drawn about her like a protective coat, and… there was a reason for that. It was cold here, far colder than you had ever felt it before. Gone was the golden light of summer or the orange hues of fall that had previously. Now it was a dark, dreary gray. Both the sky… and most of the landscape. The cliffs that surrounded the beach were eroded and vine covered. The trees were missing or dead, and what had once been fields leading away from it were now all barren and empty, reclaimed by nature. All that remained of what this place once was was Circe, who stood at the water's edge like a sentry. And as you returned your gaze to her, she turned around.

Hmm, since the island seems quite tied to Circe's state, that's very concerning.

"Don't apologize, you were performing a service for another… multiple anothers actually, though one needed it more than the other."

I wonder if Circe considers this to be something Shirou needed more, or something Ilya needed more?

"Magic? What are you talking about?"

"No Shirou, not magic, not the kind that Magus practice. Magic."

I am all aboard the Circe train, and Magic is the way. Let's fucking go!

I was torn between more Medea content and a trump card that might be rather helpful in the war and unfortunately the trump card won. Also Circe is cute.

More fighting experience please. Also more Medea, but more experience is more better right now.

I'm pretty sure I know which way the wind is blowing, but I'll still vote for this. But damn it Erien, you keep making me torn between really interesting choices.
