[WHOA that's some intense anger Saber!! She feels bad that she's evidently making the Servant recall something she doesn't want to, but she never even saw Caster herself. It's difficult to comprehend.]
I had no idea Caster had that kind of power. But Sasaki Kojiro... I don't know a Servant like that. [Perhaps he'd been defeated before she had the chance to run into him. It's the only thing that makes sense. Regardless, there's at least one thing clear about this.] My grandfather must have decided not to participate in your version of the war.
[She listens closely, but she noticeably tenses up when Shinji is mentioned. How could he even be made into the vessel for the Grail? She doesn't know, but... There's a sick kind of irony to it. Shinji, who so desperately wanted to be the true Matou heir, finally got his wish then. He was made into a vessel for it like her, thus making him like the heir.
She wonders how much he suffered for it.
Which is a horrible thing to think, she knows, and she hates herself for just thinking about it. But the fact remains that he caused so much of her suffering, and she killed him for it. She shouldn't have killed him. She knows that she shouldn't have, and she agrees that she shouldn't have. But at the same time, she didn't regret it either.]
... I see. [It's all she says about it, in a tone so devoid of feeling that Saber probably wouldn't recognize it. It's a familiar one to her though, one she hasn't used in a while. Old habits really do die hard.] You're right though. The Grail has been corrupted for a long, long time. The Shadow was partly a result of that.
