Subaru:  "I can see that even though Patlash’s wounds are being healed, there’s no visible effect on Rem…just like you all mentioned downstairs."
gpt
Ram:  "Her condition is neither a wound nor a sickness, so it can’t be healed. That seems to be what the spirit decided."

Subaru:  “…I see…” Tasting the same disappointment from before, Subaru sighed.
gpt
Subaru:  But even if she wasn’t someone who could be healed, the spirit of the room didn’t hesitate to take care of Rem in her sleep. The way it treated Ram was ample evidence of that. "In the end, nothing has changed."

Ram:  “…If you want to change it, then you’ll have to do what you came to do in this tower."

Subaru:  “The Great Pleiades Library, huh…?” Standing beside Ram, Subaru peered down at Rem’s sleeping face.
human
Subaru:  The Great Pleiades Library. That was the Pleiades Watchtower’s true name and its true function. If Shaula was to be believed, the answer they desperately wanted was somewhere inside. "I’ll find the answer and bring Rem back. My goal hasn’t changed."
gpt
Ram:  “…I see. Good.” Holding Rem’s hand, Ram didn’t so much as glance in his direction.

Subaru:  Incidentally, why is there a chair for you but not for me? This is some clear-cut discrimination.
gpt
Ram:  "Animals have an instinct for sniffing out hierarchies. Perhaps spirits are the same.”

Subaru:  "Rem said something similar once." Before Rem and Subaru got along, Rem had made a remark about why they were treated differently by the children in Earlham. It was a nostalgic memory. Quite some time had passed since he had last checked in on the village. "First thing’s first."
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru exhaled, letting go of the empty feeling that had started to well up as he composed his face. "All right! I’m going back to where everyone else is. What about you?"
human
Ram:  "You would get worried if someone isn’t watching Rem, right? I’ll keep an eye on her. That’s why I came here in the first place."
gpt
Subaru:  "Yeah, that makes sense. In that case, I’ll leave her to you."
human
Ram:  "I can’t do anything other than watch over her."
gpt
Subaru:  "There’s meaning in you doing that." After reassuring Ram in a rare moment of self-deprecation, Subaru examined Rem’s face again. Expressionless, neither peaceful nor pained, she was still lost in dreams. Reaching his hand out to her forehead, he touched her with tender affection. He was relieved to be able to do that much. And while knowing that a part of him wanted so much more, his expression softened. "I’ll be back."
human
Ram:  "………" Naturally, there was no response. Ram knew those words were not meant for her and tactfully remained silent.
gpt
Subaru:  Satisfied, Subaru headed toward the green room’s exit. "Speaking of good manners… Please take care of Rem and Patlash." Before leaving, he touched the vine on the wall and made a request of the spirit protecting the room.
