Fate/Echo's Call
[ She hadn't wanted this. She had disagreed with her father's plan, to participate in the Holy Grail war at all, but perhaps it hadn't been loud enough.
(Perhaps, Haru thinks, tiredly now, as though she didn't know that it had been nowhere near loud.)
But with mages hearing the stirrings of a powerful man ready to put Tokyo beneath his heel, she ought to have expected this. Instead, she had come home and found her father, face-down on the ivory shag carpet, body having long since grown cold. But the armor. The armor was still where he had hidden it, five sets of hidden drawers locked with a seal only a member of the Okumura family could undo.
She hadn't wanted this. But things couldn't stay as they were, and only a few days after his funeral, Haru had finished preparations. The circle, etched carefully and painstakingly on the floor with care given to each individual symbol. The armor, placed in the center.
... She can't shake the feeling that she is still her father's subservient puppet, but as she finishes chanting--
The room explodes in light and her hand burns as the lines of three Command Seals engrave themselves onto her skin.
Much to her embarrassment, she's tipped over backwards from the shock. ]

But she also can't let herself forget that. ]
When I have a terrible case of bedhead, I'm sure... you're very sweet, Arenvald.

Truthfully now, how are you feeling? No ill effects from Caster’s magic?

[ So saying, he reaches for a pitcher and glass that one of the housekeepers left on the bedside table some time ago to pout her a glass of water. Gingerly, he offers it to her. ]
Got a bit of a hangover, have you?
[ He’s teasing. ]

I'd rather not remember anything about how foolishly I acted... I really was like a drunkard.
