[Locked FROM Issei] Unrequitted love . . .

[steelisblood]

I have a friend who's . . . well in love with me and I don't feel the same way about him.

And he knows this.

I don't want him hurt.

What the hell should I do?

It was kind of obvious, you know. I've known about this for a while.

Well, I told him that I killed Kuzuki and he hates me now.

Heh, I'm still an idiot.

[Locked to Rin]

[jewelslinger]

You did the right thing. Lying to him would have been far crueler in the long run.

Re: [Locked to Rin]

[steelisblood]

True, and it seems as if he's forgiven me now as well.

Just I feel guilty, not about Kuzuki, but about how he feels.

You can't control someone else's feelings, Archer. There's no reason for you to feel guilty about it.

I know I can't, but he deserves someone who will love him in return. Which I cannot, at least not in the way he wants.

He'll get over it eventually and find that someone; it's just going to hurt for a while.

He never does.

He never will.

Trust me, I know.

... what?

The Issei in my time never got over his feelings for Emiya Shirou. He simply became monk and lived a quiet, lonely life.

It is his family duty to become a monk, but...

His branch of Buddism encourages him to take a wife and have a family Rin.

He never did.

[Locked to Archer]

[jewelslinger]

... I see.

Yeah.
