Subaru:  It was a terrifying prospect. However, in light of current circumstances, it was also a logical conclusion. Given the appearance of Petelgeuse the first time, and the madwoman the second, it was inevitable they would arrive at the same possibility. "In other words, there are multiple Archbishops of Sloth—or perhaps the Archbishop of Sloth is actually a group with the same power, acting toward a common objective?"

Julius:  "...The only Sloth I knew of was the sickly-looking bastard that came out first. But now that I’ve seen the next woman, I can’t tell you you’re wrong."
human
Subaru:  The madwoman had called herself a finger and identified with the Archbishop of Sloth. It fit. That’s what they would go with: that Sloth was multiple Archbishops of the Seven Deadly Sins working in concert. "So without exaggeration, the fingers are parts of the Archbishop of the Seven Deadly Sins. If it is a group composed of multiple archbishops calling themselves Sloth, it would explain the breadth of the upheaval they have caused in every nation."

Julius:  "So Sloth is the part of the Witch Cult carrying out the doctrine of the faith. Just the thought gives me chills.”
human
Subaru:  That it was the practical arm of a larger religious group was very much a flight of fancy. Subaru wanted to laugh, but even a dry laugh failed to emerge. If Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti was but one Sloth among many, their pleasant, orderly advance had been nothing more than a farce. That was a terrifying prospect indeed. "In the end, this remains no more than speculation. I would like to avoid carelessly spreading unease and unrest among the others."

Julius:  Julius shifted his eyes toward the expeditionary force, clumped up in one group. “We lost twelve men, with three fingers to go… This is a rate of attrition we cannot ignore.”

Ferris:  "—Not twelve, eleven." Ferris corrected the number of their losses, walking over to them. His white coat was sullied with blood as he wiped the sweat off his brow and pointed behind him. "I pulled one of the heavily injured ones back from the brink. It was a really, really close call, though…"
gpt
Julius:  "That is good news. To stabilize someone in that condition…as expected of you, Ferris."
human
Ferris:  "I said it meowself—I can bring back anyone who isn’t dead." When Julius said the words good news, Ferris gave a thin, wry smile. But his smile soon faded as he shifted his gaze in a different direction.

Subaru:  Subaru’s eyes, drawn there as well, were greeted by the sight of someone covered with a thin cloth.

Ferris:  "I can’t save everyone… Now I really understand the meaning of the captain’s words."
gpt
Julius:  "You have done well. It is not a role any of the rest of us could hope to accomplish."
human
Ferris:  "Mmm, thank you." Ferris replied briefly to Julius’s consoling words, but everyone there knew that they were a small comfort.
