Having family now is.... more than I ever expected to take care of, but that's enough kindness. But if we want to survive together, we need to leave people on the roadside. That's just the way it is.

[ It's already difficult as is to keep track of the people he cares about. In the further sense that is everyone who had lived through the summer camp with them and with events like Shirou ending in another murdergame... It's hard. Focusing on only the people he loves most seems easier. The smaller the circle of those to protect, the less vulnerable.

Abandoning that thought is not a luxury they can afford. ]
