.......All this work to get both protagonists working together on finding another option and the
best we get is a choice between a Fate route ending where the protagonists are selfless martyrs giving up their own happiness in order to "save everyone" and a blank write-in? Really?
[X] "I wish upon the Grail... I pray that the Fates of those whom brushed with this war be remedied, let both the living and the dead be restored to healthy bodies and with memories free of the glimpses of miracles and nightmares, with Rider herself be restored to mortal life as her reward for ensuring the salvation of all healed by this wish.
A. Fate Route ending ,even if it ultimately results in the two reuniting in Avalon, is terrible given it results in Shirou endlessly throwing himself into battle to save random people he never met in order to simply be murdered by them later because "muh selfless people can't be understood so normal people persecute them" so I categorically reject inflicting it on anyone else.
B. There is no Avalon equivalent here and the "normal" afterlife in the nasuverse is the existentially horrifying soul blender of Akasha. So If Medb fades away here, Brie and Medb will never be reunited ever again after this and Brie's soul will eventually be ripped apart and ground up to make an entirely new soul after a living a life devoid of the one she loves.
C. I've started to hate selfless characters that never actually go for what they want and instead focus on making others (the people they're romantically interested in even if said person loves someone else, as just one example) happy at their own expense.
Surprised noones tried to be clever with a write-in. Was half expecting people to wish for a happily ever after.
People voted to find a third option that could give us a happily ever after without screwing over innocent lives and it got us nothing but "figure it out yourselves".
