We're more or less in 'stasis', being a Heroic Spirit meant we're removed from the cycle of reincarnation and time. And each time we're summoned - under normal circumstances, the Heroic Spirit is summoned as if it's the first time we appear after our deaths as living beings, save for whatever knowledge the Grail grants us in order to function in the place and time we're summoned in.
Right.. at the Foundation, you can exist without a master. Maybe... as long as you go right back there, you can remember everything.
[Shadow didn't realize how... well... miserable a Heroic Spirit's life could be. Summoned, used, and then forced to forget it all, only for the cycle to repeat?]
... I won't be going back to the Foundation. Not permanently, anyway. I'll need to break in and collect my things, but... I can't stay there.
I will have to - and I do want to - return to the Chaldea eventually, but there is something I am working on in the Foundation. Unfortunately, it's a "necessary evil" as much as I loathe the term with the SCPs that exist in that world, but it is both unnecessarily and excessively cruel, while being wildly incompetent.
[The man exhales slowly]
I've been gathering information, listening in, it may take time but I want to fix it.
Mmm. Yes. The Foundation reminds me a lot of the people I work for in my own world.. except tens of times more incompetent. It is truly amazing that they have not destroyed their entire timeline.
[actually they have, but HEY. The Foundation has ways to "reverse misfortune" too, as it so happens.]
You'll have a hard road ahead of you. But I think, if you asked, you would have the cooperation of almost all of those brought in by 6350.

So when your contract with Watanuki is over... you won't remember any of this...

[His fingers clenches the glass, seeming to be trembling slightly]
I hope this is one of those exceptions... there are people I do not want to forget.
