Subaru:  "The duty assigned to Ryuzu, the process to give birth to replicas—it was all camouflage to cover up the countermeasures Echidna made to deal with Melancholy, huh?"
gpt
Ram:  "—It would seem that Melancholy’s existence was something she had to go through such lengths to conceal.”

Subaru:  “—! Granny!" Subaru announced his final conclusion.
gpt
Ram:  Ram agrees, Ryuzu blanched and wobbled.

Garfiel:  Instantly, Garfiel supported her by her shoulders, gently sitting his grandmother down on the tomb’s stone steps.

Subaru:  "Sorry, poor way to say it. But I’m not sure how I should put it…"

Ryuzu:  "No, it is fine. I have come to the same conclusion as you, Young Su… I am merely a little tired." Lowering her eyes, Ryuzu spoke in a heavy voice.
gpt
Subaru:  One could hardly blame her. Nor was there any reason to make her push herself. The duty she had continued believing in for her entire lifetime had been exposed as a complete fraud. Neither Subaru nor anyone else could imagine how bitter it was to know that.

Ram:  "Do you think it was all futile, Lady Ryuzu?"
gpt
Ryuzu:  Ram…?
human
Ram:  Amid that silence, Ram tossed her voice toward Ryuzu as the latter hung her head. Ram crossed her arms, glancing at Garfiel, who was right beside Ryuzu, with her usual penetrating gaze. "I am guessing you feel dejected from knowing that the duty you long believed in was a false one. However, Lady Ryuzu, was the time you spent in the Sanctuary that of duty alone?"
gpt
Ryuzu:  ""
human
Ram:  "No matter how it may have begun, surely, it was not duty alone that spurred you on. At the very least, that’s how it was for Ram." It was a barbed way to console someone and a scolding way to be soft. It was very in character for Ram.
gpt
Ryuzu:  Ryuzu’s lips trembled slightly as she digested those words. Then she used her slender hand to grip Garfiel’s.
human
Garfiel:  Without a word, Garfiel held her hand in return. That was plenty. It was just as Ram had said. However it may have begun, false that it might have been, that did not need taint everything that happened thereafter. Ryuzu had firmly taken those words to heart.

Subaru:  And the more he thought about it, the more Subaru felt emotions of painful longing claw at his chest. "—Beatrice lost a friend, didn’t she?"
human
Subaru:  Because Ryuzu Meyer was so timid and Beatrice was so obstinate, neither had made plain the friendship the pair felt for each other until the absolute, final moment. The tender love Ryuzu Meyer had left behind when she was enveloped by the magic crystal had probably eaten away at Beatrice’s heart like a curse, continuing to throb with the pain of a wound that would not heal. He finally understood why Beatrice had rejected Subaru and why it was her true and honest wish to be allowed to die. The wound in Beatrice’s heart from having lost her one and only friend had remained a scar ever since.
