Roswaal:  This was proof that he was genuinely disappointed that Ram would not complete her objective—and that he regretted she did not stand beside him. Roswaal genuinely believed Ram should dedicate everything to accomplishing her goal—taking revenge on him for her kin—and he had hoped, until that day came, Ram would walk the same path as he. Just as Roswaal had hoped Subaru would play the role of coconspirator, he hoped Ram would be the one who would bury him. Truly, just how much would this man refuse to—?

Ram:  "—Ram?”

Roswaal:  "Over and over, you touched me so many times, yet even so, not once did you realize my true wish.”

Ram:  Exasperated with pity, anger, and self-mockery, Ram seemed to have reached the end of her wits. This was no longer even in the same dimension as obtuseness or a mere difference in ways of thinking. —The notion that Ram’s feelings were not of revenge but of love did not even exist inside Roswaal. “It would have been so much better had my body smoldered only with hatred and the desire to avenge my kin. Had I been but a vengeful Oni, my chest would not ache so. However—”

Roswaal:  Unable to fathom where her words were going, Roswaal merely furrowed his brow with a questioning look.

Ram:  She let a pained smile slip. Truly, she thought, it was as if this man did not see anything beyond his own feelings. Therefore, surely, these words, too, would be completely astray from his expectations— “Master Roswaal, Ram loves you.”

Ram:  “Is something amiss?”

Roswaal:  “Amiss, you ask… Are you playing a prank on me? Trying to rattle me at a time like…”

Ram:  “You think I would expect such petty tricks to work on you? Ram is merely stating how she truly feels.”

Roswaal:  “If not, all the more reason it cannot be true! !” Roswaal’s voice was ragged as he shouted in anger. He thrust a finger forward, trained toward the stiff expression on Ram’s face. “Love me? What are you saying?! You hate me. I am the man you hate. To you, I am a man linked to the cause of your homeland’s destruction. Surely, the truth is that you hate me enough to kill me!”

Ram:  “In the beginning, it was so, but now it is not. Now Ram loves you.”

Roswaal:  “That is absurd…! Who—who, I ask, would believe in such cheap emotions? !” Feelings that began with vengeance must continue to remain of vengeance. Only feelings that began with love could arrive at love. He, who had stubbornly held to his feelings without a single deviation from them, could not believe Ram’s change of heart. He could not. For if he understood them, it would undermine everything he had done. “What about your revenge?! Did you not swear upon it?!
