>>3535497>Has your wife ever done anything that is questionably moralShe kills Shirou in a bad ending of the Fate route and reading it the first time made me depressed for almost a week. It wasn't until I accepted that she is just THAT dedicated to what she believes in that I accepted it as reality. It's unfortunate because the ending in question was rushed and probably put in as an after thought to justify the affection point system and so I barely could consider it canon. But it technically it was so I had to come to terms with that. It felt like some sort of betrayal and made me feel really uncomfortable. To be fair, Shirou deserved it sort of, because in order for her to do that in-game you have to basically neglect her completely the entire route. Shirou likely abandons her on a rooftop when she's passed out and runs after that piece of shit dude Shinji. She thus doesn't fall in love and when she's presented the Grail by Kotomine, and if her affection points aren't high enough, she impulsively decapitates Shirou and holds his severed head in her arms in grief and despair...
Yeah that sucked to read in a pretty big way, especially since you have to get that ending to "finish" the game and get Last Episode where they spend eternity together. It took awhile to cope with but that was a long time ago now. She needs him and it makes me feel like she needs me in a way. To keep her from doing something terrible. I've accepted her flaws since then and don't feel this anymore but it took some time. I realized that the only way to truly save her was to win her heart and thereby stopping her from throwing away her honor as a knight and a King. To prevent her from caving in to that one last desperate attempt to achieve her faulty, tragic, selfless goal. She's such a dork...
I'm actually very relieved I finally was able to talk about this.
