Summary
"The golden Servant looks at her for a moment, then at Kariya, as though uncomprehending. His shoulders tremble. Then his head tips back and unrestrained laughter comes forth. It’s both comforting and scary, and Sakura resists the urge to hide behind Kariya.
His laughter stops as quickly as it started. He looks at Sakura with cool amusement. 'Honesty is a rare thing from a Mage. Humility even more so.'
'…Thank you?' Sakura feels very tired.
'And to have summoned me, let alone at your puny age, well…one could call that a miracle.' His armor clanks as he strides out of the circle toward her. 'What might your name be, little one?'
'I-It’s Sakura,' she says, feeling ever weaker. 'Sakura M—Tohsaka.'”
In which Sakura is chosen as a Master, and finds herself braver than she had imagined.

Summary
Sir Lohen,
May this letter find you in good health.
I will get directly to the point: I am aware that this is very short notice, but would you be amenable to visiting Piramida for an undetermined amount of time?
Illuga woke up from an accident on duty, and got diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia. It's been a couple of days, and he doesn't seem to be getting better as quickly as we had hoped. He keeps asking for you, and far be it from me to see him in such anguish any longer.
Amnesia is a tricky thing. Maybe seeing you will help, maybe it won't. And even if it does, it will likely take time. I know you two were close, so please consider the proposition.
All the best,
Starshyna NikitaOr; Lohen grapples to the death with something he never had before: patience. For the sake of his birdie, he hopes he can come out on top. …Too bad he can't demolish the cliff Illuga hit his head on. That'd be nice.

Summary
“There’s something different about the captain today,” Rollon murmured.
“How so?” Anleifr glanced over at where Illuga had taken a seat, nose already deep in some report or another. “I don’t see anything off with the fellow.”
“That’s the thing: I can’t figure it out either. But there’s definitely something off with him today.”

The Ratniki (and friends) notice Illuga’s begun wearing new earrings.

His eyes paused at the scar—rough, jagged, uneven—stretching across Lohen’s clavicle and shoulder.
That’s the spot where he…
Illuga averted his eyes from it in an instant.
“Feeling guilty again?”

Summary
“Grand Master, this is the third time.”
“Three is a magic number in many stories,” Varka laughed as he handed over a blue-tinted envelope. “Do you like graveyards? Maybe you can find a ghost to fight.”

Five times Lohen delivers letters to the people around Illuga, and one time he delivers one to the leader of the Nightmare Orioles himself.
