Subaru:  “—” Subaru was on top of the bed and not moving much, but his breaths were quick and ragged. Fearful of falling asleep, Subaru had used the feathered pen in his hand to cut the back of his other hand several times. Every time his eyelids seemed to droop, he forced his consciousness awake through pain. If he slept, he didn’t know what he’d wake up to. He’d already died three times. In the royal capital loop, he hadn’t experienced more than three deaths. To Subaru, plunged into that first day for the fourth time around, dying a fourth death was unknown territory. —Maybe, if he died here, he’d never come back. He couldn’t find a way to avoid death. But still, he didn’t want to die. He distrusted all and struggled against all in his desperate fight to live.

Beatrice:  Beatrice, having mocked Subaru’s disgraceful sight and received his sullen retort in turn, narrowed her eyes slightly.

Beatrice:  “…Puckie and that little girl asked me to pay you a visit.”

Subaru:  “Puck and…Emilia?”

Beatrice:  "You were acting oddly since you awoke, I suppose, so they suspected that I had done something to you when you first woke up. A rather rude suggestion, if I may say so."

Subaru:  Surely Subaru’s heartless words had hurt Emilia, yet she was concerned for Subaru all the same, enough to speak directly to Beatrice, even if her suspicions were misplaced? As a result, Beatrice, with a weakness for Puck to begin with, had Puck begging her to help them, so here she was, reluctantly showing herself in Subaru’s room. Emilia’s concern for him brought just a tiny bit of warmth to Subaru’s heart. Even if it was meaningless as far as breaking the stalemate was concerned…
