Subaru:  Of course, given that they were outsiders, the food itself was just leftovers.
gpt
Subaru:  “Not that we can complain too much. Just having something to eat is good enough.” Subaru carried his and Rem’s share and set them down on a small table at the edge of the space.
human
Subaru:  Louis had impudently taken her own share, just like Subaru. “What have you been doing? Nothing too hard, right?”
gpt
Rem:  “Not particularly. They were considerate of my legs as well… I only helped a little bit with cooking. While being taught along the way.”
human
Subaru:  “Taught… Did that bring back any memories?”
gpt
Rem:  “…It would be a lie to say I did not have some hopes of that.” Rem’s blue eyes narrowed, and her lips pursed at Subaru’s immediate question.
human
Subaru:  Seeing that reaction, he worried he was pushing too hard, but Rem slowly shook her head.
gpt
Rem:  “I tried several things, thinking there might be something that felt familiar. But that would have been too convenient.” Looking down at her hands, Rem sounded embarrassed by her shallow hopes.
human
Subaru:  But who could call her hopes shallow? Who could do that, seeing her grasping for an answer when she couldn’t remember the building blocks of herself? “…Why do you have such a pained look on your face?”
gpt
Subaru:  “Why? I…” Subaru looked down. “…Did you not say just last night that you would wait for me to be ready?” He was stunned by her response.
human
Rem:  It sounded like the first hint of compromise from Rem. Enough to make the seed of hope sprout in his breast. However… “As I said yesterday, no matter how many times you call me Rem, I cannot accept that as my name. No matter what you might say.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Ugh…”
human
Rem:  “Perhaps it would be different coming from her.” Rem’s eyes softened, and she rubbed Louis’s head.
gpt
Louis:  Louis just let her do it, focused on taking care of the food in front of her that she had obtained for herself.
human
Subaru:  Unfortunately, even if Louis had been in her right mind, she couldn’t say anything about Rem. And even if she could, Subaru wouldn’t let her. The animosity that he just couldn’t shake wouldn’t let him. “What’s with the long face? This is a gloomy table.”
gpt
Todd:  Todd casually interrupted their meal. Feeling like Todd might brighten the awkward mood some, Subaru welcomed the man who sat down next to him. Just earlier, and before that, too. He’s been a huge help. "Hmm? I’ve known them a pretty long time; a day or two not eating together won’t change things between us. I figured I should make a new friend.”
human
Subaru:  “Not like I’ve got anything I can pay you back with.”
gpt
Todd:  “You can repay it later. Think of this as an investment.” Todd lightened the mood with his easy wit, then wrapped an arm around Subaru’s shoulder. “Still, though,” he whispered in Subaru’s ear.
