Ram:  “And the wavelength of my clairvoyance does not overlap with Lady Emilia or the others, so I can’t say whether they are safe, either.”
gpt
Subaru:  “I see. A safety check with clairvoyance… So you can’t connect with anyone?”
human
Ram:  “Strictly speaking, there is one other I can connect with. Not that there is any point in it, though.”
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru couldn’t understand what she meant by there not being a point in confirming the safety of any comrades who had been separated from them. But that question soon answered itself.

Ram:  “—From the look of things, I guess you’re up now, Natsuki.”
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru shrank back when a light shone on him out of the corner of his eye. But its gentle waving wasn’t threatening him, and he quickly realized it was the light of another lantern. Finally, the outline of a person holding it became clear enough for him to make out.

Subaru:  “…Anastasia…and Patlash?” Slowly, the two of them appeared together. Patlash’s black scales made it seem like she emerged from the darkness itself as she approached, and Anastasia was riding on Patlash’s back in her white outfit.
gpt
Anastasia:  Anastasia smiled down at Subaru. "Sorry for borrowing Patlash without permission. But I’m a little too helpless to be going around exploring on my own.”
human
Subaru:  “That’s…fine, but…I thought it was just the two of us, Ram?”
gpt
Ram:  “I don’t recall ever saying it was just the two of us.” Subaru stared over at Ram, but she feigned ignorance, just blaming it on Subaru’s own assumptions.

Anastasia:  “Lady Anastasia, thank you for going out to check. Was there anything of note around us?”
gpt
Anastasia:  “Mmm, I checked a little deeper, but I couldn’t find anyone else. It seems like the three of us…and Patlash were the only ones sent here.”
human
Subaru:  “…I see.” While Subaru had been unconscious, the two of them had apparently split up tasks. It was easy enough to guess how Ram was feeling after hearing Anastasia’s report. There wasn’t a thing for Subaru to do about his worry for Rem, either, but…
gpt
Subaru:  “But it’s at least good news that you’re safe, Anastasia. And also my Patlash.”
human
Anastasia:  “Yes, it’s not all bad news. It’s important to recognize the good things, too. Honestly, it was a big help that Patlash was here—and that she’s willing to listen.”
gpt
Subaru:  Patlash lowered her head when Subaru walked over, happy to see him again. Patting her neck, Subaru breathed a sigh of relief at safely reuniting with his trusty steed.
human
Subaru:  “So is this everyone then? Just four people?”
gpt
Anastasia:  “If you’re counting Patlash as a person, then yeah. There’s no reason for Emilia or the others to be hiding… Well, I guess Meili might.”
human
Subaru:  “What, you mean try to escape in all the confusion? I mean, I guess I can’t rule it out, but.” As Meili flashed through his head, Subaru thought about her. Thanks to his death resets, he did know that she had the sandworm under her control to fall back on as a last resort.
