Emilia:  "My body’s not weak enough to keel over from overwork that fast…”

Emilia:  “I can tell you’re beat-up just by looking at you. You won’t go into the details and tell me, will you? I don’t think this’ll make everything better, but…it’s the only thing I can do, so…” Her compassionate gaze made it hard to brush her off. Her fingers had parted his black hair; she began to gently stroke his forehead like he was a little boy.

Subaru:  Subaru burst out laughing and tried to twist away from Emilia’s fingers. He had promised himself to stay strong in front of Emilia. To say this was all a misunderstanding. To say he wouldn’t do anything as unseemly and uncool as that. “Ha-ha… Emilia-tan, you, doing that…for…me…” Yet his voice was shrill. His throat caught, and the next words wouldn’t come out. Subaru couldn’t switch mental gears when he felt her soft fingertips stroking his forehead.

Emilia:  “You’re tired, aren’t you?”

Subaru:  “I—I can still do…more. I’m totally…all right…”

Emilia:  “Have you been having trouble?”

Subaru:  “You’re being so nice to me, I mean, I’m gonna blush. If you keep doing that, I’m…gonna… Ha-ha…” Subaru’s reply to her brief question sounded like complete lies. Even he could tell that his words sounded hollow and empty.

Emilia:  Then Emilia gently drew her face close to Subaru’s. “It’s been hard for you, hasn’t it?”

Subaru:  “—!”

Emilia:  She sounded like she pitied him. She sounded like she sympathized with him. She sounded like she cared for him. That was all it took for Subaru’s walls to collapse. They crumbled, fell apart, and came crashing down all at once. All the powerful emotions he’d tried to keep bottled up hadn’t gone away in the slightest and came rushing out. “It was…hard. It was really, rough. I was really, scared. I was really sad, enough that I thought I was gonna die. It hurt so much…!”

Emilia:  “Yeah.”

Subaru:  “I—I tried. I really tried. I did everything I could. I desperately tried to do everything right…! I did! Really, really. I’ve never tried to do anything that hard before!”

Emilia:  “Yeah, I know.”

Subaru:  “It’s because I like it here… This place, it’s precious to me…! That’s why I was dying to have it back. I was afraid. I was so afraid to see that day again…and I hated it. I hated myself for that!” He couldn’t control his emotions. The initial explosion had blown the dam wide open, a deluge of tears marring the smiling mask over his cowardly face. The tears wouldn’t stop. His nose was runny. His mouth was awash in some sort of weird liquid as Subaru’s sobbing became harder to listen to with each passing moment. It was a sorry sight: a grown man with his head on a girl’s lap, bawling his eyes out. It was pathetic enough that he could die, but the warmth filling him might just kill him, too. Emilia made gentle sounds of understanding as she listened to Subaru weep.
