[And now he's realizing that he knows very little about Illya too. So many people that he loves who seem mysterious and have hidden secrets that he can't uncover. Illya had always been hiding things from him, he knew that even back home, but he still had come to care deeply for her as a sister - even without knowing just how close to the truth that was.
Now feels like one of those times where he wishes he had his father around to explain things to him, but that man is standing right there in front of him and doesn't know him. He can't rely on a parent who looks at him and sees a stranger.
He also can't force that pain on Kiritsugu. It's not his fault the crystals play loose with timelines.
So he focuses on the questions he can ask that don't feel like too much of an intrusion.]
