||A: [Mayfield High - Class] Morning

[Shinji Matou stood in front of a class of all these people he likely didn't know, being introduced as 'Shinji Gavin'. What the hell kind of a name was Gavin? Either way, his name was written on the board in chalk and he held a calm and polite expression.]Yo. I'm Shinji Gavin, and I'm going to be joining you

*Was that... who she thought it was?

Sakura couldn't be sure but... that boy... it looked just like...

... No, maybe it was just a coincidence. But still, she couldn't get herself to approach and she couldn't make herself run away. So she just stood there, staring.*

[dothecreep]

[And Shinji saw her... and she was staying away. It didn't surprise him much, but it annoyed him a bit... what more surprised him is that she was even here in this weird place]

Sakura! Come and eat with me.

[It was a simple request, but it may or may not have sounded like an order.]

[imaginenumbers]

*It was him.

And he ordered her to do something...

... Timidly, she'll walk over with her bento and take a seat next to him. Close enough to satisfy him, far enough for Sakura to be comfortable. Well, even that was a lie, there was no way Sakura could ever be comfortable next to her Nii-san even if that's what she wanted the most.

Still not saying a word, she'll place her bento on her lap but she won't eat.*

[dothecreep]

I see you're in this place too.

[He took a bite of his sandwich and went silent again for a moment as if he was gathering his thoughts. She seemed nervous, and that made him feel even more terrible, because this was his sister after all.]

Are you hurt?

[imaginenumbers]

*He asked if she was alright.

He showed concern for her well being.

Sakura looks up. She still can't look him in the eye but at least she'll look in his general direction.*

... N-Nii-san?

[dothecreep]

Are you alright, Sakura?

[Yeah, he did show concern. He wasn't a complete bastard anymore, after all. He glanced in her general direction as well. He couldn't look her in the eye, for obvious reasons.]

[imaginenumbers]

*He did it again.

While her heart wanted to leap in joy she was still confused and conflicted inside. She had killed this person... so why...?

... Senpai said something about this. About how her and Nii-san get along in his world. Does this mean that this isn't her Nii-san?*

N-Nii-san... can I ask you a few questions? W-Would that be alright?

*She's still afraid of speaking up in his presence but... it's worth asking at least. Hopefully even if he didn't let her ask him Shinji Matou would let Sakura Matou walk away without any bruises.*

[dothecreep]

If I have answers, I'll answer them, Sakura.

[He took another bite of his sandwich and waited for her to ask her questions.]

[imaginenumbers]

*She'll nod only slightly. So far, so good. Now she just has to think of a question that won't upset him.*

Nii-san, where did I stay during the holy grail war?

*That would be vague enough. According to what Sakura knew she had stayed in the Matou home during Senpai's version of the holy grail war. Of course, she herself had stayed with Senpai during the war... This was too vague of a question to get any real answers but maybe, just maybe, things would become a bit more clear slowly. She was still much too scared to ask something more direct.*

[dothecreep]

[Huh? That... was an odd question. Did she not remember? Either way, he said he'd answer, and this was a question he had an answer to... he gripped his arm somewhat.]

At home, the Matou residence if memory serves.

[imaginenumbers]

*She nods only slightly. Sakura isn't brave enough to ask anything else. But at least she knows that this Shinji wouldn't know that Sakura Matou killed him.*

Thank you. S-Sorry for asking something so silly.

[dothecreep]

No question is silly. I'm sure you had your reasons to ask.

[He took another bite of his sandwich and went silent again for a moment.]

How long have you been here?

[imaginenumbers]

... Around five months. You... just got here, right?

*For the record, Sakura hasn't touched her food. She really isn't hungry anymore.*

[dothecreep]

Yes, within the last day or two.

[Have the other half of Shinji's sandwich appear in her line of sight anyway.]

You should eat, don't want to get sick.

[imaginenumbers]

*She'll open up her bento and pick at her food. Looks just like something Sakura would make, pseudo japanese food with the western cooking materials in this town.*

[dothecreep]

[He'd pull the sandwich away then. He was offering it to her, but yeah.]

I'm glad you seem at least relatively okay.
