Subaru:  "There’s probably not a single night I haven’t wished to be strong enough to not be so helpless.”

Julius:  “That sounds like you’ve endured quite a number of fruitless nights.”

Subaru:  “Who asked you? …Anyway, it just feels like Reinhard’s in the exact opposite situation. I don’t think he was always the Reinhard we knew from age five, so what must he have felt?”

Julius:  “…I cannot begin to say what he might have been feeling at the time. However…” Pauses and looks up, his expression softened as he stared down the road they were traveling, or maybe at the sky in the distance and the sunlight shining down on them. “…seeing Reinhard then was a major turning point for me.” His voice sounded almost proud. It was almost as if he was squinting his eyes not from the sun, but from the dazzling object of aspiration that had been burned into his memories as a child and was still fresh even now.

Subaru:  Seeing Julius like that, Subaru’s own thoughts wandered to Reinhard. Just like them challenging the Pleiades Watchtower, Reinhard had also taken on an important role—Subaru was worried about how the transport of Wrath was going. They had captured Sirius in Pristella, and she was currently being transported all the way to the capital. By the time Subaru’s group found themselves outside the Auguria Dunes, Sirius should be reaching the capital. It would be best if nothing happens, and Reinhard’s there, so I don’t need to worry, but—

Julius:  “—Reinhard will be fine. He will surely come through.”

Subaru:  “Don’t go reading people’s minds. It’s scary.”

Julius:  “Hah. It’s because I’ve been traveling with you for a while now. I’ve started to get a sense for it, I guess.” Brushes back his hair, seeming somehow pleased with himself.

Subaru:  Subaru could only sigh. I guess we’ve both gotten better at dealing with each other. "At this rate, if nothing else happens, I’ll be able to write a dissertation on you.”

Julius:  “Don’t worry. At the moment, you’re already the person who knows me best in the world second only to myself.”

Subaru:  “That wasn’t a title I ever particularly wanted, but there you have it! I’ve got my PhD in Juliusology. If Joshua heard that…” Trails off as he started to make a joke.
gpt
Julius:  Guessing why Subaru fell silent, Julius’s smile disappeared as he murmured. “…It would certainly be good for the mood if something happened…” It wasn’t like him at all, but Subaru wasn’t so stupid that he couldn’t recognize that Julius was saying it for his sake.

Subaru:  "Argh, damn it. I really am an idiot.” Scratching his head pathetically, mutters to himself in irritation.
