"Where am I?"
Shirou wondered as he gazed around the unfamiliar and unsettling surroundings. The black soil beneath him rolled like waves on the sea, while hills comprised of withered bodies littered the landscape, slowly sinking into the black waters.
The sky was a blood-red hue, dominated by a black sun, while the wind carried with it a curse and lament. This place was, without a doubt, hell itself.
He struggled to remember how he ended up here until it all came back to him. He had been swallowed by the black mud. Could it be that he was now inside it?
"What do you want your wish to be?" a voice asked, breaking the silence.
He turned to find the speaker, his eyes narrowing as he retorted, "Who are you? Are you the will of the Grail?
"What wish do you want to make?" the will persisted.
"I don't have a wish for you to grant."
"You're lying," the will accused. "Just like you lie to everyone else."
"I'm not lying," He said with a smile.
"You can deceive others, you can deceive me, but you can never deceive yourself. Look into your heart. Your wish, your answer, is there."
Suddenly, Shirou felt a pair of hands cover his eyes, plunging him into darkness.
In the dark city, people came and went. This was a city of sin, where there was no order or rules, and where criminals and terrorist attacks were a constant presence. With a population of 37,000, made up of criminals, residents, and Shirou, if a wicked person were to threaten his life for the 10,000 dollars he possessed, what would he do?
"I'd kill him, of course," Shirou answered without hesitation. "To save my own life."
"Even if innocent people are involved, I won't hesitate,"
The will of the mud listened to Shirou's answer calmly, and then Shirou's hand was suddenly armed with a gun. The weapon fired bullets like a machine gun, killing everyone in sight.
"Correct. That's the Fujimura Shirou I know,"
Shirou stood calmly before the sea of corpses and blood, his eyes showing no emotion.
"Fujimura Shirou had become a notorious killer and criminal in the city, having slaughtered countless people in pursuit of a single villain. The local gangs saw him as a threat and put a bounty on his head." The will of the mud confronted him and asked what he would do.
Without hesitation, Shirou unleashed a blinding flash of light followed by a deafening explosion. The bomb turned everything and everyone in its vicinity into a mass of mud in the sea. In Shirou's eyes, this was a necessary measure to ensure his own survival. Whether they were guilty or innocent, they were all silenced by his merciless act of violence.
"Correct,"
The game continued, escalating from individuals to small gangs and eventually to larger gangs. In the end, Shirou, who had killed everyone, survived and no longer faced any threats to his life.
Fujimaru Shirou had finally returned home, to a place filled with warmth, where his parents and friends from his past and present life awaited him. However, he soon discovers that his own family had thrown him into the city of sin and plotted his death. How would Shirou make his choice?
The answer was before him -
"Have you had enough?" Shirou turned around and faced Sakura.
Throughout the game, his expression remained stoic, and even now, it remained unchanged. This was because the decisions he had made were not based on his own beliefs, but rather those of the mud.
