Subaru:  Determination, resolve, actions, past, future—Subaru’s had been rejected as much as hers. He felt like it was futile no matter how hard he tried. He knew that he was seized by an urgent need to do something. As for what he was struggling against, he had no idea. He knew only one thing. "She…she brought me this far… No. She stayed with me this far, and there are things I have to do for her…"

Subaru:  "Rem?" Subaru anxiously searched his heart for the original feelings that had brought him to where he currently stood.

Emilia:  "—You too."

Subaru:  "Hmm?"

Subaru:  "You’ve…forgotten Rem, too—" Not only had her own twin sister forgotten her existence, not only had all traces of her vanished, but the person who was the entire reason for Subaru’s return didn’t remember her, either, even though Rem had staked her life on making it happen. The days she had spent, the time, the feelings, the way she’d lived, all had vanished. Her smile, her anger, her tears, the touches they’d shared—what had happened to all the things that made her who she was, that were firm proof she had lived?

Subaru:  "—All right. I’ll tell you everything."

Emilia:  "Eh?" Emilia responded, surprised by Subaru’s words.

Subaru:  Looking up at her beautiful, refined face, Subaru found anew the source of the emotions that had driven him to such lengths. If the alternative was for Rem and her feelings to vanish into the ether forever… "It’s better to get everything out, even if it makes me cough up blood." Subaru had decided. He’d reveal it all. He’d tell her the truth about what clouded the depths of his spirit.

Emilia:  Emilia, seeing that the look in Subaru’s eyes had changed, swallowed stiffly.

Subaru:  Standing before her, Subaru put a hand to his chest. His heartbeats were fast; he knew and feared exactly what was about to happen, what the result would be. That pain. Pain enough to drive a man mad. The suffering of those ministrations on his heart, the sensation of it being crushed, his inability to even let out a sound, continuing on and on, never knowing when it would come to an end… But he had thought about this, too. As if I care. I don’t care. What’s that pain compared to this suffering right now? She couldn’t trust him. She couldn’t understand him. If he would have to endure the suffering of no one remembering Rem on top of that, mere physical pain paled in comparison. —If you’re gonna come, then come, damn it. If it’s my heart you want, you can have it.

Emilia:  "Yes?"

Subaru:  "I’ve…seen the future. I know what’s gonna happen. And if you wanna know why, it’s because…I can Return by Death—" The instant he reached the verge of revealing everything, the world indeed came to a halt.
