Garfiel:  He’d been angrily yelled at by Ram, beaten to a pulp, and treated as a tiny fool before yielding like a little girl. He hadn’t wanted to realize or understand just how cowardly he truly was. —Then and there, it was within his power to destroy the tomb’s corridor, rendering everything else moot. The recuperative power of the blessing of earth spirit was extraordinary. Already, he had regained enough strength to destroy the tomb. Ram and the others waiting outside had no means of stopping him. He could spoil the results of such an agonizing battle, rendering it all for naught. —Hadn’t she and the others realized that much?

Garfiel:  Of course they had. Setting aside Emilia, who knew too little about doubting people, and Otto, who was short of a few important components, there was no way the highly observant Ram or the very calculating Subaru would fail to see that possibility. In other words, they firmly believed that Garfiel would not destroy the tomb. Perhaps they thought he was too chicken to do it. —Or perhaps, they trusted him.

Garfiel:  "" Crinkling his nose, Garfiel slowly stood up and surveyed his surroundings. What flew into his vision was a most familiar forest—but compared with the scenery Garfiel knew, this forest was over ten years “younger.” Garfiel, who was in contact with the forest on a daily basis, knew as much. This was the past. The Trial had begun, and he was in the Sanctuary of ten years past.

Garfiel:  "No doubtin’ it now, huh…" Clenching a fist, Garfiel let the words trickle out as he made a bitter face. It was obvious that this was the past. It was expressed more eloquently than any words, more obviously than seeing how the trees were young again—and it was thanks to the scene spread immediately before Garfiel’s eyes. —It was a scene of three women exchanging words in a place close to the Sanctuary’s barrier. One had youthful features with long, pink hair—Ryuzu.
