[was she a Servant? she didn't seem like one...yet he was deceived by Gilgamesh before him too. he couldn't be too careful. and if she was one, it was very likely that he was outclassed from the start. so for Shirou, there was only one option. whether he could avoid a fight or not, treat her as a Servant that could kill him if he dared to let his guard down once.
but...
"Please."]
