Louis:  "If you don’t want to be strangled, then give me my memories—!”
gpt
Louis:  "Give them back? If we don’t, you’ll wring our neck? Us? A delicate little girl?” Even with his hand around her neck, the excitement in her eyes had not faded at all. Her lips softened as she looked at Subaru, who was breathing heavily, nose flared.

Louis:  As her expression relaxed, she spoke, her voice like a hex ringing in his ears. “Can you really do that, mister?”
gpt
Subaru:  “—Do you think I can’t?”

Louis:  “More like ‘know’ than ‘think.’ After all, right now, we know you better than you do.” Louis poked both of her cheeks with a finger and cocked her head provocatively.

Subaru:  Gulping, Subaru looked down at his right hand around her neck. I just have to squeeze a little to show I’m serious. If I prove I’m serious, she’ll change her tune. Think of Emilia, Beatrice, Ram, Meili, Julius, Echidna, Shaula, Patlash, everyone, and—

Louis:  “—Your grip loosened, mister.”

Subaru:  “”

Louis:  “We really weren’t going to resist, you know? After all, here, we’re just the delicate little girl we look like. Unlike our brothers, we can’t do anything without taking the form of someone we ate.” Louis poked Subaru’s hand.
gpt
Subaru:  That weak nudge was enough to make Subaru’s hand slip abruptly off her neck. “Damn it…ghh!”
human
Louis:  “No need to feel bad, mister. You did good. You did good. Honestly, we didn’t even think you would be able to make it back here.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Is that supposed to be some consolation?”
human
Louis:  Louis was still lying where he had pushed her down, acting unconcerned, as if any danger had already passed. Anything Subaru said would just sound like sour grapes, but Louis simply stuck out her tongue and laughed. “But this is for the best, isn’t it? If you got Subaru Natsuki’s memories back, the current you would die, after all. This way, it ends without something stupid like suicide.”
gpt
Subaru:  “…Huh?”
human
Louis:  “Oh? That’s a strange reaction. Did you really not realize? If those memories come back, the current you will be overwritten, and your existence would be erased… That’s the same as dying, right?”
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru froze at Louis’s matter-of-fact riddle-like answer. Die. Disappear. Having it said so bluntly… Being told that the moment Subaru Natsuki’s memories returned, the current Subaru’s consciousness would be overwritten. If you asked me whether that was dying or not…
human
Louis:  “—Right now, Subaru Natsuki is dead. He doesn’t exist anywhere. But if he comes back, then this time, you will die, mister. You won’t exist anywhere.”
gpt
Subaru:  “”
human
Louis:  “Is there much value in getting Subaru Natsuki back? You can do the same things, can’t you, mister? You like the people around you just like him now, don’t you? And they will like you just the same, too. What’s so bad about that?”
gpt
Subaru:  “What’s…?” So bad? When put like that, there was nothing bad about it at all. That Subaru Natsuki and this Subaru Natsuki. Neither of them was bad. Subaru was a person with lots of flaws.
