After Archer arrives following the battle, Rin informs him that Rider has been killed by Caster. At his home, Shirou allows Saber to sleep nearby him in his room, so she can prevent him from being taken by Caster again. Meanwhile, Shinji arrives at the church and pleads with Kirei to offer shelter and protection. However, when Kirei finds out that Shinji was the first Master to lose his Servant, the latter blames the uselessness of Rider as a Servant. Realizing Shinji still has a resolve to fight, Kirei tells him there is one additional Servant available for usage. After clearing Issei of being Caster's Master, Shirou encounters Rin, who is spying on Gilgamesh, who has been observing the Matō home for some time. Later on after Gilgamesh leaves, Rin asks Shirou his opinion about being adopted into another family without any say at all. While eating dinner, Taiga tells Saber about Shirou and Kiritsugu during Shirou's childhood, commenting that they seemed to be polar opposites of each other due to their personalities. When Saber asks him why he wants to become a hero of justice, Shirou vaguely replies that it is because he looks up to them. However, while in his room alone, he concludes that he only wants to follow in Kiritsugu's footsteps, but then remembers from Archer's words that his ideals are flawed.
