[ "I don't really understand other people's pain." Tohsaka Rin said indifferently as she walked towards Dark Sakura. "So... no matter how much you suffered in the past, I never intended to understand it." ]
[ Dark Sakura heard this and lowered her head, instinctively clenching her fists. ]
[ "But... Sakura, although I'm a bit slow, I've never felt like I've had a very happy life." ]
[ "You still...!!" Rin's words completely enraged Dark Sakura. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her eyes dimmed. "You still!! Have the nerve to say such things!" ]
[ As Sakura's anger surged, the shadows on the ground spread towards Rin, then floated in the air, forming needle-like small spheres like a hedgehog, blocking her path. ]
[ "Sakura," Tohsaka Rin called out softly, then tossed the Jeweled Sword from her hand into the middle of the shadows. This series of actions stunned the enraged Dark Sakura for a moment. ]
[ "Welt Ende. (End of the World)" ]
[ The next moment, blinding white light burst from the Jeweled Sword. Caught off guard, Dark Sakura raised her hand to shield her eyes. ]
[ "Whoosh, whoosh—" With sounds of blades cutting through flesh, Rin, holding a dagger and covered in scratches, leaped over the thorny area formed by the shadows. ]
[ Reflected in Dark Sakura's eyes was the dagger, but in Rin's eyes were Sakura's somewhat bewildered eyes and the hair ribbon she had given Sakura when they were children. ]
[ Then, recalling playing cards with Sakura when they were children, Tohsaka Rin frowned slightly, looking at the big cards in her hand, finding it hard to decide who to let win. "Oh.... This ain't good" ]
[ The scene returned to reality. Rin was now embracing the trembling Sakura, which left Sakura somewhat at a loss. "Sis... sister?!" ]
[ "I'm a grade A idiot." Rin seemed to be mocking herself. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it, and the dagger in her right hand slipped to the ground. "But I just can't stand to see hardworking people not get rewarded. I also really like Sakura, and I hope you can always be happy." ]
[ "I tried to tell myself that the harder I live, the easier you can live. I'm not qualified to lecture Shirou either." ]
[ "As soon as I got close and saw you, I knew I couldn't do it. I'm sorry... please forgive your willful sister." ]
[ "And... I'm very happy that you can always wear this ribbon..." ]
[ Rin reached out and touched the ribbon on Sakura's head, then her hand dropped weakly, and she fell to the side, rolling over. A large amount of blood began to flow from her body, staining the ground. ]
[ Although Tohsaka Rin hadn't been able to strike earlier, her abdomen had been pierced by Sakura's arm. ]

"Rin has the coldness of a magus but is also a kind person. Everything she said from beginning to end was the truth... but she clearly cared deeply for Sakura, yet she didn't speak humanely, and her actions made Sakura even more desperate."
"As an elder sister, Rin couldn't even bear to win a card game against you, so how could she possibly strike you? This ribbon is proof of Sakura and Rin's relationship."
That deck of poker cards was a good metaphor. Three kings and two jacks, even if she played poorly, Sakura wouldn't win...!
Everyone from other worlds sighed silently. So why did they put their hatred on their own sister? This was something they couldn't understand! Hurting the person who had always loved them, again and again.
While you hated her, she deeply loved you. In your eyes, the approaching dagger was reflected, but in Rin's eyes, there was only you.
Even the little she had managed to gain was now destroyed by herself. This was truly too cruel for Sakura.
~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea~
"Given Sakura's state, gentle words alone couldn't reach her—so Rin deliberately edged hers with blades.... That's why Rin's words sounded so harsh."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was also a bit unsure, but he just had this feeling that perhaps this could truly break through Sakura's emotional defenses.
"Senpai..."
Mash shook her head, disagreeing with Rin's approach.
"Although it's well-intentioned, I think this will only make Sakura suffer more."
Rin's behavior was too cold. No matter what Rin was thinking internally, it must have caused irreversible damage to Sakura.
Da Vinci remained silent, but there was one thing she found very curious, but considering that saying it would ruin the atmosphere, she didn't speak.
It wasn't that she looked down on Rin, but could this knife really kill Sakura?! Or did her body still have human weaknesses?
~Naruto World, Future Timeline~
The former number one talk-no-jutsu user, now Hokage Naruto, felt that Rin's words here were neither gentle nor cold, but merely a frank expression of her thoughts.
Having not experienced Sakura's pain, should Rin hypocritically say, "I understand your pain"?
The current Sakura was consumed by power. The more gentle and compromising you were, the more it would confirm this:
"Because I have power, these people have to speak kindly to me."
So Rin had to push Sakura to a desperate situation to make her sober up, so they could have a proper conversation. Otherwise, Sakura wouldn't listen.
This was his experience as a Hokage.
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"MATOU ZOUKEN!!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi took a deep breath, trying to calm his constantly fluctuating emotions, but his eyes were still bloodshot.
Rin's personality was strong, and she didn't know how to express her emotions, but what she said was also the truth. Sympathy was always very fragile.
And Sakura's feelings for Rin were quite complex. She expected Rin to save her, but at the same time, she envied and resented Rin's life. Because of a lack of love and constant torment since childhood, she developed a twisted and insecure personality.
But to demand that she not be jealous, to put yourself in her shoes, few people could do that.
.....
[ "Clearly..." Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes, and the black patterns on her face receded downwards from her eyes. "I also had it..." ]
[ "But I destroyed it with my own hands...ah...ah!..." Sakura collapsed to the ground, tears falling incessantly, appearing helpless as she hugged herself and cried loudly. ]
[ Then Sakura heard a sound and looked up blankly, watching Emiya Shirou slowly walk towards her from the end of the tunnel. "Sen...pai!" ]
[ Emiya Shirou saw the fallen Tohsaka Rin and quickened his pace, then ran to Rin's side and crouched down to check her condition. ]
[ "I killed... I killed my sister... even though she always told me not to give up." ]
[ Hearing the crying, Emiya Shirou looked at Sakura. Sakura was now crying helplessly. "No, I want to end all this." ]
[ Emiya Shirou looked at Sakura, who now had bright eyes again and was crying, and decided in his heart. "It seems Tohsaka still won." ]
[ "Sakura, Tohsaka isn't dead yet." Emiya Shirou stared at Sakura. "She can still be saved. I'll save her with you." ]
[ Sakura stopped crying after hearing this, and her eyes relaxed considerably. But the four large, staring eye monsters behind her, who had been watching all this, caused the cave to begin to shake. ]
[ "No!! Run, Senpai!" Sakura, realizing what was happening, quickly tried to warn Emiya Shirou, but it was too late. ]
[ Black and red tentacles emerged from the depths of the magma, converging into a mass and fiercely attacking Emiya Shirou. ]
[ "Zzzzt—" With a flash of sparks, Emiya Shirou blocked the attack with his left hand, tearing his sleeve and revealing the Holy Shroud underneath. ]
[ "No, Senpai, I didn't..." Sakura wanted to explain that the previous attack wasn't caused by her, but before she could finish, Emiya Shirou interrupted her. ]
[ "I know, it was that child who refused to give up." ]

~Projection of All Worlds~
"Emiya Shirou's words prove that Rin was gambling from the beginning, risking her life to restore Sakura's sanity! She truly succeeded. The black patterns on her face receded a bit, and Sakura's eyes regained their light."
"I understand the reasoning, but even though Rin isn't dead, if you two had any conscience, wouldn't it be better to call 911 for her right now?!"
Everyone complained. Although she wasn't dead, she looked like she was close to it. Save the person first, don't forget they're still in the enemy's stronghold.
Moreover, seeing Sakura gradually returning to normal, it's no wonder Angra Mainyu started to become restless. If he could speak, he would definitely say to Emiya Shirou and the others: "Brothers, don't cause trouble! I'm still waiting to be born."
Good heavens, was that really just a piece of cloth wrapped around Emiya Shirou's hand?! Not to mention how he managed to create sparks, but the arm left by Emiya Archer is really too useful.
