[Archer is out at night, surveying the damage that happened around town. He didn't send in a letter himself, so all he got was some coal, but with everything he's heard over the phone caution is advised.]
*Archer will be able to see Sakura stumbling around the town. It might be easy to mistake her for a zombie but something still seems intelligent about the way she sulks about.*
*After that she'll continue crawling around like a spider who got sick of waiting for pray in it's web. While Sakura still has some intelligence she isn't nearly self aware enough to sense Archer from the rooftops.*
[At this point he's on edge and once thing goes through his mind: she's a danger to everyone the way she is.
With that in mind, he hops off the roof and lands several yards behind her. The sound of his boots connecting with the pavement makes a clear echo, but his voice is firm as he speaks.]
*Sakura spins around as soon as she hears Archer's boots connect with the asphalt. She's already walking towards him even before he speaks and her words don't seem to affect her... at first. They seem to take awhile to register with her brain. Archer may not be able to hear her but he should at the least be able to see her move her mouth to form horrid and twisted words.*
[He does and that's all he needs to know. A generic blank sword appears in his left hand and he fixes it onto the bow. In that moment he pulls the string back and fires it at her legs. It's not aiming to kill, but to incapacitate and immobilize her.]
*The sword enters her right leg and lodges itself there. Her hunger is forgotten for the moment as she cries out in pain and grabs at the sword in a hurry. It seems like for now Sakura is her true self again.*
*Sakura feels her stomach rumble. She knows she really doesn't have enough time to restrain herself and she can't run away from Archer. She quickly racks her brain for ways to keep her mind off of devouring human flesh...
And then it hits her. Without hesitating, she grabs at her hair with one hand and starts pulling out large chunks of hair. If the pain will distract her long enough to not attack again then that'll have to do for now. She'll come up with something else soon.*
[He doesn't react to the sudden self-attack. The moment Sakura made it clear that she was not moving of her own will, he had already numbed himself into a machine. Machines have no need for reactions.]
*She hasn't stopped pulling out her hair. Sakura's afraid she'll leap up and attack Archer as soon as she stops. She really wanted to be his friend... so why did this happen to her?
Sakura will nod her head and cry out. This is the only option for her now and she'll take it bravely.*
[A single Black Key rains down on Sakura's shadow. It doesn't look much? That's fine, she should be unable to move away from that spot now anyhow.
Oh the lamppost on the opposite street is Master and not!mom.]
She's still human and can be restrained. The town is probably responsible, so it should wear off after a while. Asking to be killed is going way overboard, isn't it?
[She seems casually and relaxed; even if she doesn't break and dissolve the tension in the air, she would have done some good in alleviating it.]
[His head turns up to Ciel with a curt frown. His tone is cold and precise, without any hint of fleeting emotions.]
She's barely human anymore, Ciel. I saw her eat a drone and who knows if she ate anyone that wasn't. Even worse, she still has some of her senses. [Turning his gaze onto Sakura again.] Do you think anyone would want to live like that? Just because you restrained her doesn't mean you can stop her craving.

He takes his bow out, gripping onto it with stern eyes. At that moment he prepares himself for the worst.]

Sakura, this is the town's doing. Fight against it.
