Can someone explain to me why hephaestion and fujimaru are somehow related? I didn't play that event much so I don't know the story behind it
During the event, Ritsuka had temporary amnesia due to most of the Mnemosyne system deciding this was the best way to protect them who separated those memories.
But before Ritsuka got them back, those memories formed a temporary mind body. Additionally, part of the Mnemosyne system felt that this wasn't the right way to protect Ritsuka and rebelled, summoning a Servant. They weren't strong enough themselves to make a full Servant, so that part of the Mnemosyne system sacrificed their body and mind to fully summon Faker. The weirdness of the summon gave Faker her memories from Lord El-Melloi Case Files. (that's a whole different story)
Faker doesn't have a name, she's not actually Haephaestion, she's Haephastion's sister who grew up to be a "Shadow Body Double" for Iskander, some of it was as an actual body double (through magic) but also to divert magical curses sent to Iskander. She refuses to join Iskander's Ionioi Hetairoi because she's mad at them for destroying Iskander's empire after he died. But without a name, without history knowing who she is, she shouldn't really exist. She's an anomaly. So is the Memory Mind Body of Ritsuka, who should cease to exist when actual Ritsuka gets their memories back.
She helps Memory Ritsuka get back to Ritsuka's body, in empathy to them, but also because they know who she is. So Memory Ritsuka went back to being a dream in Ritsuka's head, but they still partly remember.

Jesus Christ, the fact that I still understood that is astonishing.
