There stood a lone Master, the last hope for humanity, an almighty force from the beyond, fighting for the future of the world-
"Yeah, yeah, can we get on with this? This cutscene doesn't give me SQ, and the gacha doesn't wait for anyone."
Unfortuna...

RIDER: "TALL LADIES FOR THE WIN" MEDUSA
Mash: Just how many Servants do you know, Senpai?!
(Y/N): Eh, the previous ones, except Galko-chan, all fought in the same Grail War I did.
Mash: Oh... Hmm, maybe that's influencing the summoning process since you're not using any specific catalysts?
(Y/N): Maybe, maybe.
Mash: Also, Medusa? That Medusa, the gorgon?!
(Y/N): In all of her petrifying glory, yes.
He discreetly winked at the Rider, who didn't visibly react outside of a small twitch and her face conspicuously turning away from him.
Mash: But how would that even work? Didn't Da Vinci say that we couldn't summon Divine Spirits? But then again, Lady Vritra answered your summons, so... what?
(Y/N): Mashmallow, in this world, whenever there's a rule, just add "Except for when it does/doesn't" at the end of the sentence and just move on.
Mash: Uh... okay?
(Y/N): Don't worry, she's a real sweetheart. That said, it's good to see you again, Rider.
Medusa: I suppose it is... Master.
(Y/N): You could be a little more enthusiastic about it, sweetie.
Medusa: I am just... processing this turn of events.
She said this while pointedly not facing in his direction. A rather amused (Y/N) couldn't help but laugh at the awkward woman trying to be stoic about the situation.
(Y/N): Don't worry, I know just the way to make you feel better. Mashmallow, let's bother Actually Satan and the Fuyuki Gang!
Mash: Do we always have to go to Emiya specifically, though?
(Y/N): No, but it's funny. I could use a few laughs before I deal with the other upcoming issue...
Mash: What is it?
(Y/N): Don't worry, I'll handle it. Rider, darling, come along! So many familiar faces are waiting!
Medisa nodded awkwardly without a word before she followed. (Y/N) let the Rider to her thoughts for the time being as he led them to the cafeteria, but not without one last word.
(Y/N): We'll have a chat later, yeah?
He didn't need to turn around to feel Medusa's eyes centered squarely on him, or the mix of emotions swirling behind that mask.

Cafeteria
Cu: Gimme another one! This stuff's so thin I might as well be drinkin' water!
