Subaru:  —The stairs to the second floor, Electra, were imposing enough to be called a grand stairway. Compared to the different sets of stairs between the sixth, fifth, and fourth floors, the width and rise of the stairs were both scaled up. They completely filled the room, so the outrageousness of it all was self-explanatory. “There’s no way this was here before…right?”

Anastasia:  “It is difficult to imagine we would have missed such a blatant set of stairs. However, I cannot deny that I failed to notice the room itself.”

Julius:  “In terms of feeling off while searchin’ around, I think I know what you mean.” Anastasia and Julius nodded.

Subaru:  Subaru was confused by how easily they seemed to accept it.

Emilia:  “While you were asleep, Subaru, we gathered on the fourth floor. Rem and Patlash were resting in the green room, and we also tried to solve the third floor’s puzzle. Anyway, we all walked around to figure out where to set our stuff, but…”

Emilia:  “At the time, everyone sort of avoided this room. Thinking back on it now…”

Emilia:  “Almost like there was something that prevented you from perceiving it in order to keep you away?” Emilia and the rest of the group, who had been first up to the fourth floor, all nodded. It was a mental blank spot they all started to notice once the third-floor exam had been cleared. And thinking about it like that, the existence of the grand staircase almost felt natural.

Anastasia:  “Subaru, it’s a monolith. I would like to avoid confusion, so please be consistent with the terminology.”

Subaru:  “Monolith, monolith, monolith! Happy now? Moving on.” Getting a little bit fed up, Subaru fired back perfunctorily before looking at the staircase again. It was long and straight, long enough to skip past the third floor and go straight to the second. Considering the structure, it almost seemed like following it up would lead straight out of the tower—"Is it just operating on the mysterious power principle to somehow work…”

Emilia:  “Maybe it doesn’t actually connect to the second floor, but to someplace else entirely… Or would that be too mean?”

Anastasia:  “I worry that the longer we spend in this tower, the more it’s going to corrupt your simple honesty, Emilia. We should clear this place as soon as possible before you become more familiar with the thought processes of cruel people.” It was a great boon having Emilia help solve the layout of the sadistically designed tower, but Subaru could not help worrying whether it would warp her personality. “Either way, though, this is a pretty good pace.
