Ah, youth, thought Kiritsugu again. He was a lucky young man, if he hadn't lost anyone dear to him.

"Pets? I'd say they do." From a theological standpoint, a clergyman would doubtlessly have disagreed with him, but Kiritsugu isn't too concerned with the clergy and what they might have to say.

"I've had more than a few good dogs myself, that I liked better than most people." Every gamekeeper needed good gun dogs, and so Kiritsugu was not without.
