the fate route is warming up in more ways than one as rin moves into shirou's house and makes herself nice and comfy. shirou does his best to drive saber into rin's arms. sakura tries her best to stay in the story but rin's just too strong and it looks like we won't see much of her from here on. illya swoops in to take her place though, sharing a heartfelt conversation and dorayaki with shirou at a park near the shopping district.

next time we’ll be covering days 8-10 of the fate route!
