Shima:  “As such, we should speak while we can.” Even while leaning on Ryuzu’s shoulders, Shima lifted her face and nodded toward Subaru with determination.

Garfiel:  “It’s impossible to tell who you’re talking about, so let’s call them Granny Shi and Granny Ryu from now on. Besides, we can’t swap them around like that. This is something we can only hear from Shima’s lips.” Garfiel seemed to snap out of familial concern that Shima was forcing herself to speak.

Subaru:  Subaru wanted to respect his opinion, too, since it was sensible. But he could not say that here. What Shima wanted to talk about was the Sanctuary’s past. These were things that only Shima and the people directly related to the Sanctuary’s creation could know, and that was because—

Subaru:  “The Witch’s daughter…?” The implications of what Ryuzu had shared made Subaru alone raise his eyebrows, for he was the only one who sensed a special meaning behind her words. Neither Garfiel nor Ryuzu, nor Ram nor Otto, understood; only Subaru had a suspicion that turned out to be true, a reference toward which, like it or not, he felt a longing aching in his heart.
