[Diarmuid understands Karna's confusion. He had felt it himself when he had first arrived and seen it on the faces of others when he has tried to explain the nature of this place to them. While Diarmuid had disliked Kayneth's ranting lecturers, at least it had acquainted him with second magic and that had helped a lot when it came to understanding things here.]
Apparently existence is made up not only of an infinite number of worlds, but an infinite number of different versions of those worlds.
[He gives Karna a questioning look.]
Did you read the letters that would have been left in your room? The one that mentions how we were brought her because our worlds were destroyed? Every person here, whether they wear the face of someone you know or not, is from a different world no matter how similar they may seem. It seems that there are a great many worlds that have some version of the Grail War going on in them. Many are similar, but they are never exactly the same.
For instance in most versions of the 4th War including my own, I was summoned by a magus who went by the name of Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. However, this is not always how it happens. In the version of the war my current Master is from, it was he who summoned me and not Kayneth. It seems your war is yet another different version. One where you were summoned instead of me. Tell me, does the names Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi or Waver Velvet mean anything to you?
