( The answer is immediate, one that could almost be considered callus were it not for his disposition. With Iri in Kotomine's hands, there was almost certainly nothing to be done. He'd almost been able to kill her once before, after all, and Kiritsugu has no reason to expect Kirei to hold her as a captive. So, that was it. If she wasn't dead already, she almost certainly would be, and that's not factoring in her impending Grailmageddon.
So up until now, he tried not to dwell on it-- of course, made impossible now by Maiya's presence. It would wear on him, that he should have afforded Iri and Maiya better. But there was no way to change that, not now or ever. )
