[This is a moment nine years in the making. Tokiomi is 21 now, and after single-mindedly ignoring first Kiritsugu and then Waver's warnings (and eventually convincing Waver to supervise and help), the moment of truth is here. The magic circle for the Holy Grail has been destroyed, and bits of the components have been recycled and modified with dedicated research until a spell to materialize a Heroic Spirit's true self has been created.
With this, a real hero can be reborn. With this, that hero might remember previous full summonings such as have only been accomplished by the Grail War before. The downside -- the thing that makes this spell ridiculous and impractical and likely to be banned in the future -- is that there's no way to directly control a heroic spirit revived this way. It could cause a massive disaster if things are done incorrectly.
Still, the basement of the house in London isn't much different than the basement of the house in Fuyuki. It's the same dim light, the same scent of old paper and magic. And when the smoke clears, Gil's being stared at with the same wide blue eyes, determined but full of both nervousness and hope.]
