Wilhelm:  "—Then and now, what links me to my wife is the sword." Wilhelm paused slightly before weaving the words in response to Subaru’s question. As Wilhelm faced Subaru with the moonlight at his back, his eyes had grown damp from complex emotions. He felt pride. He felt regret. He felt hesitance, passion, and shame. Bravery and tragedy were present, too. —But behind all these emotions was love.

Wilhelm:  "So long as I grip a sword, my feelings for my wife shall no doubt persist. Accordingly, when I die, I want to die with a sword in my hand. To me, that is nothing less than continuing to be with my wife." Wilhelm was too clumsy, too blunt, to love her in any other way.

Subaru:  Subaru drew in his breath, taking many shallow breaths as if he was gasping for air. His tongue was numb, and he felt like his lungs were convulsing. But he pressed on his chest to suppress his beating heart and forced his tongue to move. That moment, with Wilhelm gazing into the distance before his eyes, he had to say it.

Subaru:  "Please don’t say ominous things like when I die. Mr. Wilhelm, you’re young, almost too young, and it’ll be a real problem if you’re always thinking about retirement."

Wilhelm:  "Sir Subaru?"

Subaru:  "Crusch and Ferris are both super dependent on you. Crush must struggle with not being able to remember her memories, and Ferris doesn’t let it show, but he must be stretched pretty thin from supporting her any way he can, so they need you, Mr. Wilhelm. Besides, even I—!"

Subaru:  "Even I have lots of things left I want Mr. Wilhelm’s help for. Maybe this is a naive way to think when it comes to political rivals. But I…" —Subaru liked Wilhelm. Wilhelm kept his feelings for his departed wife close even as he struck down his foes. That was why Subaru respected him as a man. Even if Wilhelm had no awareness of it, even if amid repeated loops Subaru had spent no more than ten days as his apprentice, Subaru admired Wilhelm’s strength. Subaru was frightened to hear words that acknowledged death emerge from Wilhelm’s mouth. —Even more than before, Subaru was sensitive to death among the people he personally knew. His promise with Roswaal was one reason, and it was also the effect of Return by Death altering Subaru’s own thoughts. When he thought of someone he knew dying, he lost all control over his emotions. It was enough that he had secret fears where Emilia and Beatrice were concerned.

Wilhelm:  "It seems that as is typical, I chose my words quite poorly." As Subaru stood stiff, Wilhelm closed the distance between them with a pained smile.
