Still, it does not deny the reality that Hakuno had. She killed. She won. She stood on top of a hill of corpses. She didn't have to. She could have lost. She could have rotted away in the corner, waiting for the system to delete her as invalid data for not participating in their little game of death.

A knife? Think bigger. I got a very powerful sword.
[ She changed her pose. Her arms crossed as she thought about explaining the concept of servants to Akechi. If Flat and Leo were around, they would probably explain it better than Hakuno. ]
In order to make the game fair, [ Because it wasn't about finding the strongest, it was about seeing who could survive. ] we are each given a Servant, or a familiar, that we summoned. Basically, soldiers who were based on historical figures of the past. [ It truly sounded like something out of a fairy tale. But Hakuno has to remind Akechi, ]

[ He believes every word. Only considers - ]
Who was your servant then? I'm fairly good at history. I imagine I'll recognize them.
[ He gestures for her to start walking alongside him - he's got somewhere to go, but - ]
I'm familiar with the name. He's an infamous ruler in my reality for his rather...
Eccentric form of leadership.
[ There's too much overlap between servants and personas. He'll have to interrogate her further another time, but if Nero was born from her soul in a similar fashion-
He needs to stay on his toes around her. ]
What a surprise that one would find his way to you.
You can just say tyrant. It's not like it's wrong.
[ Hakuno told him flatly. Akechi was weirdly considerate in the oddest sense.
Even if Nero were to be here, she would probably just casually admit it.]
Right? [ Hakuno smiled fondly at the memory. ] If it wasn't Nero, [ Or any other Servant that didn't accept Hakuno, as weak as she is, ] I would have probably been dead in the first round.
closes my eyes, here's your lore dump akechi

[ Hakuno jested. ]
My Servant?
[ Saber did show up as a doppelganger last month, so almost everybody basically saw her except for Akechi. They missed each other during that time. ]
