Story transcript

Emiya Kiritsugu: I've been having these nightmares again... about all the people I've killed.

Emiya Kiritsugu: Sometimes I wonder if there was another way...

Frieren: Hmm? Did you say something about demons? I've been tracking a particularly nasty one for decades.

Frieren: Their magic signatures are quite distinctive, you know.

Emiya Kiritsugu: No, I was talking about the psychological toll of being a killer. The weight of making impossible choices...

Emiya Kiritsugu: (Why do I even bother opening up? No one understands.)

Yeager Eren: Choices? There is only one choice. We must destroy every last titan! They took everything from us!

Yeager Eren: Every day we wait, more innocent people die!

Emiya Kiritsugu: You don't get it. I'm talking about the cost of violence on one's soul... the dreams where the dead stare back at you.

Goblin Slayer: Dreams? I don't dream. I prepare. There are always more goblins to slay.

Goblin Slayer: Did you encounter goblins in your missions? Their nests must be destroyed completely.

Frieren: Demons, titans, goblins... all evil must be eliminated. I've been doing it for centuries.

Frieren: You humans worry too much about the short term. The trauma fades... eventually.

Emiya Kiritsugu: And this is why I don't talk about feelings. You're all just different versions of me.

Emiya Kiritsugu: (Obsessed with missions, blind to what it costs us. Perhaps that's all we can ever be.)
