**[00:05] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Open the door! Let me out of here!<br>**[00:07] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Open the door!<br>**[00:11] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's too late.<br>**[00:14] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is *not* too late!<br>**[00:16] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to get to Rem right now!<br>**[00:17] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your reason for returning to that room<br>**[00:20] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has just disappeared, I suppose.<br>**[00:35] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To hell with that!<br>**[00:41] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why are you trying to save me?!<br>**[00:45] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because you look so pathetic,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't bear the sight of you.<br>**[00:49] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But why me?!<br>**[00:51] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you really want to save someone,<br>**[00:53] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;why don't you save them?!<br>**[00:55] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You could have done it!<br>**[00:57] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wh-Why should I have to do that?<br>**[01:01] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't a single reason<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to save anyone, I suppose.<br>**[01:05] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then... you have no reason<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to save me, either!<br>**[01:10] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who asked you to save me?!<br>**[01:15] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you have any idea what you've done?!<br>**[01:18] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything might be ruined now, because of you!<br>**[01:22] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything will be rewritten,<br>**[01:24] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and this horrible present<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will be set in stone!<br>**[01:27] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You should have just killed me!<br>**[01:35] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't understand.<br>**[01:37] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't understand!<br>**[01:39] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fine, then.<br>**[01:41] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you're not going to help, then...<br>**[01:46] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No!<br>**[01:50] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why... are you...<br>**[01:51] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I won't let you, I suppose!<br>**[01:53] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I won't let you die here!<br>**[01:55] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me go right now!<br>**[02:09] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why... is that here?<br>**[02:24] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why?<br>**[02:26] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why are you holding that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;book like it's so precious?<br>**[02:32] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's not the same book the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Witch Cultists had... is it?<br>**[02:37] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It only looks like one, right?<br>**[02:41] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why aren't you denying it?<br>**[02:45] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't been commanded<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to answer that question.<br>**[02:51] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's written in that book?<br>**[02:53] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's it telling you to do?<br>**[02:55] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That question isn't in the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;book either, I suppose.<br>**[02:57] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you not allowed to do anything<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's not in the book?!<br>**[03:00] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then when you gave me cover earlier—<br>**[03:03] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That question isn't here, either.<br>**[03:05] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then why are you talking to me right now?!<br>**[03:07] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why did you save me from death's door?!<br>**[03:09] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't know!<br>**[03:10] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you saying you can't do anything<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's not written in that book?!<br>**[03:15] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, I suppose!<br>**[03:17] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's right.<br>**[03:19] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything I do is in accordance with<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Gospel's guidance, I suppose!<br>**[03:23] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That is the meaning of my life!<br>**[03:25] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That is the purpose of my existence!<br>**[03:29] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you try to save me because<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the book told you to?<br>**[03:34] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And when you saved me after I'd been cursed,<br>**[03:36] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and when you helped me when<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I couldn't even stand up?!<br>**[03:39] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And when we goofed off, yelled at<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each other, acted like dorks together—<br>**[03:43] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I told you!<br>**[03:44] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that is why, I suppose!<br>**[03:46] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything I've done, everything I've seen,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; everything I've said...<br>**[03:50] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of it was written in this book!<br>**[03:53] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As if you ever could have moved<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my heart on your own, I suppose!<br>**[03:57] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't be so full of yourself, human!<br>**[03:59] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything I do is for Mother!<br>**[04:02] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are just... You are just...<br>**[04:05] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A human! A human!<br>**[04:06] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A human!<br>**[04:16] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't touch me, human!<br>**[04:18] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't even know you, I suppose, human!<br>**[04:20] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hate you! I hate you!<br>**[04:22] Beatrice**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I *hate* you!<br>**[04:31] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Back then... I was so happy...<br>**[04:38] Elsa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What a shame.<br>**[04:49] Elsa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh?<br>**[04:50] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...ea...tri...<br>**[04:53] Elsa**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How wonderful. He truly cares about you.<br>**[05:22] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emilia...<br>**[05:29] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My restart point hasn't changed.<br>**[05:32] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the third time.<br>**[05:36] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emilia!<br>**[05:37] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No... You're wrong! It wasn't me!<br>**[05:38] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emilia! Stay strong!<br>**[05:40] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Help me, Puck... Puck...<br>**[05:40] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emilia!<br>**[05:42] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emilia!<br>**[05:48] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subaru...<br>**[06:07] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm sorry, Subaru,<br>**[06:09] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for losing my composure like that.<br>**[06:12] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey, it's fine.<br>**[06:14] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I...<br>**[06:16] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just rest for tonight. We can talk tomorrow.<br>**[06:22] Emilia**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right...<br>**[06:25] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ram, take care of Emilia.<br>**[06:34] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All that's left is to talk to Roswaal.<br>**[06:37] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've gotta make sure to ask him about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beatrice this time, since I couldn't last time.<br>**[06:38] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natsuki-san?<br>**[06:40] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natsuki-san, are you listening?<br>**[06:41] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And... oh?<br>**[06:43] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natsuki-san, are you all right?<br>**[06:45] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[06:46] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah, of course! I'm just great!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perfect, in fact!<br>**[06:50] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anything look off to you?<br>**[06:53] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, nothing looks off at all.<br>**[06:56] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You appear very calm.<br>**[06:58] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right? So—<br>**[06:59] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even with Emilia-sama in her current state.<br>**[07:03] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So am I wrong to find your<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;calmness concerning?<br>**[07:08] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You think... I'm too calm right now?<br>**[07:12] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. I don't think that's a bad thing.<br>**[07:15] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But...<br>**[07:18] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, thanks to you, I'm more confident now.<br>**[07:22] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks, Otto.<br>**[07:23] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[07:24] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That proves I can still<br>**[07:26] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;think rationally about things,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;even after all that's happened.<br>**[07:29] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, but... There's a huge<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;difference between looking calm<br>**[07:34] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and being able to think about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;things rationally, in my opinion...<br>**[07:38] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is Roswaal we're talking about.<br>**[07:40] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't let him keep dodging<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the subject this time.<br>**[07:43] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yo, got a sec?<br>**[07:45] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Garfiel?<br>**[07:47] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're not one to fall into<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;patterns easily, huh?<br>**[07:50] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What?<br>**[07:51] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I mean, last time, you would've gone<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;straight back if I hadn't stopped you.<br>**[07:55] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've got something important to do, y'know.<br>**[07:58] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh? You talkin' about your<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shady scheme with that bastard?<br>**[08:01] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't call it a shady scheme!<br>**[08:04] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, what'd you want?<br>**[08:05] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it about the Sanctuary?<br>**[08:07] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What the hell else d'you think<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd wanna talk to you about?<br>**[08:11] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, you might want some info on Ram.<br>**[08:14] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She prefers tall guys who<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wear clown makeup—<br>**[08:18] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cut it out! You're depressing me!<br>**[08:21] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So on that note, we're gonna<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;go chat about our love lives!<br>**[08:25] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Natsuki-san... But...<br>**[08:27] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C'mon, Otto. Save it for tomorrow, okay?<br>**[08:30] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A-All right, fine.<br>**[08:32] Otto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll be counting on you to deal<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with the margrave tomorrow.<br>**[08:41] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This ain't the place. Follow me.<br>**[08:44] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another change in the course of events?<br>**[08:55] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So...<br>**[08:56] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How long has it been since<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you last saw Frederica?<br>**[08:59] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And why the hell should I have to tell you that?<br>**[09:03] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I just thought it couldn't hurt to ask.<br>**[09:05] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hah! She already left this place.<br>**[09:09] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She ain't none of my concern anymore.<br>**[09:10] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's the thing.<br>**[09:12] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I know you're Frederica's brother,<br>**[09:15] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;which means she meets the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mixed-blood requirement, too.<br>**[09:18] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So why isn't she here?<br>**[09:20] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why ask me?<br>**[09:22] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The barrier won't open unless<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;someone passes the trial.<br>**[09:25] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing's gonna change that.<br>**[09:26] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Knowing why will give us more options.<br>**[09:29] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm the type that wants to have<br>**[09:31] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all the information before<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I rack my brain for answers.<br>**[09:36] Garfiel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We're here.<br>**[09:50] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're the one who wanted<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to talk to me, Ryuzu-san?<br>**[09:53] Ryuzu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may interpret it that way if you wish.<br>**[09:55] Ryuzu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Young Gar is my attendant, after all.<br>**[10:00] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this where you come to relax or something?<br>**[10:02] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you invited me to a place like that,<br>**[10:05] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are you going to start sharing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;your secrets with me soon?<br>**[10:08] Ryuzu**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What a smooth talker you are.<br>**[10:11] Subaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So?
