[He takes several steps forward, an action both threat and confused feint. There is a reason for this bravery, and Gilgamesh knows it. The answer is in a remembered kiss, in the fear of uncertainty and the determination to serve a Master he treasured dearly. He was smaller then, more foolish, more... more...
It's something he can't put into words. His childhood is, almost without exception, easily forgotten, readily brushed off. He has no fondness for the days he spent as a willing servant of the gods, foolish in an earnestness that only youth possess; if he was such a person in the company of this man, then surely he is no different from the impotent fools who called forth the Bull of Heaven.
Surely Tohsaka Tokiomi is the same, a man too arrogant, wielding power too great for him.
There is no cause for regret. No reason to apologize for failing. No point in remembering how he felt pride for this man, even as his own body was eaten away.
He will take the offering of an incarnation and make it his own. He will leave this man as a show of mercy and not look back. He refuses to imagine why he would do otherwise.]
