[Everything was set up. The barriers were in place, the circle was perfectly constructed, now all that was left was to summon the Heroic Spirit. This really should be the most difficult part, especially for someone who only discovered their Magic Circuits a few years ago.
It would be a bald-faced lie to say Isaac isn't worried. Everything is riding on this; he needs to summon a Servant to have a chance at winning the Holy Grail. With that, he can fix this world, he can save it from the downward path it has been following for years. He can end the Holy Grail Wars and save countless people. The last war proved that even with the rules in place, civilians and non-magical people can be hurt. He won't ever allow mistakes like that to be made again.
Perhaps his methods are a bit extreme, but Isaac's always been like this. He's always gone above and beyond the call of duty to accomplish what he believes is in everyone's best interests and this is certainly no exception.
With a shaky breath, he lets his prana flow into the circle on the ground, Magic Circuits flaring to life. Let the summoning begin.]

...Thanks. I think I understand you a bit better now.
[Isaac smiles, though the expression is a bit awkward.]
I guess it's only fair that I share why I've joined this fight. I'm sure you know all about the Holy Grail War and its history. The last Holy Grail War got civilians involved and killed - I aim to put a stop to these pointless wars. Yes, having a wish granted is nice, but not if it comes at the cost of countless lives. The people who enter as Masters know what they're getting into, but the civilians in Fuyuki have no idea, for the most part. I don't want another war like the last one to happen, so I'm going to do everything in my power to ensure that nothing like that ever happens again. The best way to do it is to win this war and wish for the Holy Grail Wars to cease.

Her face is quick to change into a disgusted expression, however; she certainly didn't know about that little mishap on the organizers part.]
For innocents to be caught up in this war at all is absolutely inexcusable. If such things were to continue...well, I'm afraid I do not know how many people lost their lives that day, but I have no doubt that there would be more with each war until they're out of things to destroy. It's a complete disgrace on their part that this has continued.
[She goes calm, gripping her lance just a little tighter. How could they have gotten so irresponsible? Did they stop caring about keeping such things confined where no one else would be harmed? It reminded her distinctly of a mad man's mindset, really. They didn't care as long as they got their war...]
...I support you wholly in this decision. Not simply out of my duty as a servant, but as a defender of the people who they've stopped caring about. Not even this is worth another 'accident'.
