In a fantasy world that is fate/stay night in a burning city called Fuyuki, we see a young boy with red hair.
Ignoring the carnage around him, trying to survive, what he see's as hell. The little red-headed boy whose name we don't know yet, has his arms covering his ears from the screaming people, begging, praying, wishing for salvation yet the fire that seems to be alive is seeking them and taking everything and everyone around him, children, elderly, adults it doesn't seem to care, but the child ignores it....
He ignores the ruble, the bodies, everything even his pain.... just because of a simple little reason... he's selfish... HES WORTHLESS HES TOO WEAK TO SAVE OR HELP ANYONE. A part of his mind tells him. Selfish because he wants to live... even if it's for a moment longer than everybody else he wants to live....and for that he will ignore and sacrifice everything to keep walking from the fire which is pursuing him....
Even his emotions and memories... BECAUSE HE'S TOO WEAK !!! TOO WORTHLESS TO LIVE IN THIS HELL WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANYTHING ....
With every step he takes, he sacrifices his memories and emotions...he feels them.... he feels his emotions, his anger, his sadness, his pain, and his despair...He feels it all burning... practically see's them.... And his memories ?
....
Wait.... What memories ?
Everything....He lost everything.... except HIS hope and will... HIS hope and WILL to survive...
Humans say that hope and will, never disappear... that they will always be inside of us.
Even in the darkest of times. The flames that engulf Fuyuki may be overwhelming, but the flames of hope within the boy's heart burn's—a testament to his indomitable will and unyielding hope.
Until those flame's also burn
....
And with nothing else to give and sacrifice, he falls, BECAUSE HES TOO WEAK TO STAND WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANYTHING .... he falls and hears....
Something...
Something ...
Something he doesn't understand or maybe he forgot... or lost... how it sounded?
So, he looks up and see's...
Something.... Something unknown so he keeps looking at it and then he sees something coming out of it, something dark .... something... something... he doesn't understand, his already fragile, broken, mind becoming more and more ....DISTORTED the more he looks at it.... then he heard it .....it screaming... But that screaming... it was....what ?.....
something screaming, he's looking for the person that is screaming so loudly.... then he realized .... it's coming from the something ?..... he.... he doesn't know why maybe because he realized he's going to be dead anyway, maybe because he doesn't have anything else to lose but he comes to the black .... mud ?.... he remembers ?.... doesn't matter..... he crawls to the black mud and he hears it more... THE SCREAMING !!!!.... but he doesn't react.... he continues looking at it.... then he slowly touches it.
Then instantly he's gone from his hell and he sees.... alive people ?.... alive people surrounding something ?..... no... he realized they're surrounding someone. He sees a little girl screaming in pure agony with symbols? on her body that are glowing and the people around her are screaming ''MURDERER'' ''RAPER'' ''THIEF'' ''DEMON''!!!!! and so much more at her while she's just screaming for God to save her. But the people seem to get angrier at that and they burn her alive... then he hears them say '' with her death all can finally live in internal peace'' when he heard them he wanted to join them he didn't know why but he was just compelled, so he started walking to her.... then he stopped and just thought a simple question ''why''.
Why is she being hurt so he stopped to think about it... but before he could stop he heard her quiet voice '' I just want to live''..... so the boy felling something familiar ran ... he ran to the girl to ... do what ?..... ''save''... ''SAVE HER BECAUSE YOU'RE TO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING ELSE'' his mind screamed at him.
So, he ran to her even faster, grabs her hand, and ran with her from the people around them. He ignores the flames on her hands, to him they don't even hurt him as much as the hell he was in... they don't hurt at all actually? 'maybe it's because I'm too weak to feel anything anymore?' he his thoughts and continues running with her, not noticing her shocked face or how the people behind them disappear. Then he suddenly can't run anymore because something is holding him so he looks back and he sees a beautiful woman instead of a girl?
They're looking at each other's dead eyes and the red-headed boy realizes she was the girl that was burning he asks ''w...wh..o a..re yo..u? she ignored him and she says ''why'' so quietly that the boy almost didn't hear her so he answers her '' yo. u wa...nted ... to li.ve l.ike me '' the girl's dead eyes light up a small bit ''like you ?'' she asks ''y..es yo..u we...re be...ing hu..rt li. ke me so ... I wa...nted to ..... to... to save you ?'' the girl's eyes light up more ''save me?'' she says so quietly that the boy doesn't hear it 'save me, save me, save me' she thinks while tears start to build up, her legs start to give.
She hugs him and cries her heart out, the redhead boy not knowing what to do just pats her back (not noticing that the symbols/words glow blue and appear on him) and says ''every...thing is o.k .... everything...ing is ...ok.. yo...ure sa...fe''the girl quietly says ''thank you, thank you'' until she stops. They stay like that ... until the redheaded boy starts to cough blood and starts wheezing since he can't breathe with the blood in his mouth and drops on his back 'YOURE SO WEAK THAT YOU CAN'T STAND AFTER SAVING EVEN ONE PERSON' he can hear his mind tell him, and seeing a light in front of him he holds his and up.
The girl quickly drops next to him and sees her symbols appearing on him and realizes that he can't handle all the evil that was stored in her BECAUSE HES TOO WEAK!!!!!. She uses a piece of the grail that she has since she was part of the grail before on him and hoping in what felt like millennia to save her savior from her curse not knowing that someone else is...
