"Requiem?!"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, but before he could think any further, a stream of memories followed right behind.
The memories began with exceptionally hazy thoughts, as though he were watching through several layers of fog, everything shrouded in clouds and mist.
This wasn't caused by anything else. The memories themselves were simply like that.
After an unknown stretch of gazing at flowers through fog and the moon reflected in water, the images in the memories suddenly became clear.
Xiao Yan's first reaction was that Silver Chariot was blind.
But after examining them carefully, he realized that Silver Chariot's consciousness had barely awakened then. He had essentially existed as an AI.
He hadn't possessed much self-awareness, only a little instinct.
As for when this fellow's consciousness had awakened...
It had probably been shortly before he came to the Gray Fog Space.
His memories had been restored even more recently than Shirou Emiya's. In fact, he could be said to have only gained consciousness today.
The clearest memories, those shown entirely from a first-person perspective, began at precisely that point.
It had happened in the Italian countryside.
Polnareff had already become wheelchair-bound. Then, while Silver Chariot was trying to pick up the arrow that had fallen to the ground, it pierced his finger, and its power evolved him into Silver Chariot Requiem.

The memories ended there.
"So are you actually Silver Chariot or Chariot Requiem right now?"
After carefully reviewing the end of the memories several times, Sasuke looked the once-again devolved Silver Chariot up and down, utterly baffled.
He couldn't
