I don't think it was ever mentioned if she's still a homunculus here or not, but my knowledge of Fate/Zero is sketchy and I don't recall how much lifespan Iri had left in Zero (was that ever mentioned either?), and it's been either 10 or 18 years since Fate/Zero was supposed to happen.
Basically I'm asking if Iri is going to spontaneously die from "this homunculus lived too long" disease like OG Illyasveil was implied to. And am hoping it's not hereditary.
