Normally I'd send these a little closer to the holidays, but the student council is busy around this time of year, so I thought it would be best to get them out early. Besides, arranging cross-world transportation...

Archer, Hakuba, I hope you received your books successfully? And the same for you and your cat, Heartnet?

Midou, I... honestly, I have no idea what to get you. So I'm going to admit defeat and ask what you would prefer. I'll do my best to get it.

Happy holidays.

((Gifts are the same as in the gift post: book with pictures of famous swords for Archer, Kogoro Akechi book for Hakuba, black cat plushie for Train, ??? for Ban. Also, handwaving the sending out of the gifts because I can't be bothered.))

I travel through multiple times. In my lifetime? Yes.

That was a bad way to phrase it. I meant the one you're living in now, with Tohsaka.

No.

...I see.

That's a shame. I would have liked the opportunity to say goodbye to him.

Blame the woman he was engaged to for your loss, Issei.

(And ladies and gents, Archer's suffering from DISPLACEMENT.)

She was suspicious... But I don't think she would have, um, killed him.

((Displacement?))

She didn't kill him, but she was responsible for his death.

(displacement, putting the blame on someone else out of guilt.)

On some level, that's probably true... I wouldn't discount the actual killer from all this, though.

((Oh, I see~ What is it with Issei causing guilt trips?))

No, you shouldn't.

But what am I doing talking about things like this? Now is supposed to be a happy time of year.

Well, this is a depressing time for a lot of people, Issei.

I know, but I was attempting not to be one of them.

I know, but I understand.

So could we change the subject? Please?

Rin has a present for me, but she hasn't given it to me yet.

It's probably something special, then.

Hopefully.

You didn't just make her a meal, did you?

It's not like I can buy her anything!

You bought me things.

I don't even have a significant other I and I know that you need to give gifts for the holidays.

Yeah, with money she gave me because you needed help.

...Wait, I have a debt to Tohsaka? That can't be good...

Look, I still have a little money left ~~from selling the things my fanclub gave me~~, and I'd rather you didn't incur Tohsaka's wrath for not having a gift for her, so... If you really can't afford anything, I could pay for it.

Well, I did die for her so the scales are even.

I wouldn't count on her seeing it that way.

I think she does. She's terrified that I'm just going to vanish.
