Subaru:  “Everything else, too.”

Ram:  “You don’t have to worry about the rest, if it comes down to it. Just remember Rem.”

Subaru:  “Give me a break. Just let me get everything back…”
gpt
Ram:  “I shall say it again. You will remember Rem, even if you die.”
human
Subaru:  “Yeah, I swear it. Even if I die, I’ll remember everything.” And I mean that literally. He would get back everything that Subaru Natsuki had seen, heard, felt, and done in this world.

Ram:  “…Very well. I’ll overlook it for now.” The menacing pressure Ram had been giving off suddenly disappeared.

Subaru:  “Is that enough?” Subaru asked from his seat on the ground. “Is just asking for help enough?”
gpt
Ram:  “You’re a man, aren’t you? Just accept it. I heard your resolve. And you even said I could boil you or fry you or carve you up or tear into you or skewer you or pummel you or whatever I wanted if you give up. If I didn’t listen after that, it would cast doubt on my kindly, motherly nature.”

Subaru:  “I don’t remember saying those parts after the frying bit…”
gpt
Ram:  “Did you say something?”
human
Subaru:  “Not a word, ma’am.” Shaking his head slowly, Subaru responded politely. Kindly and motherly were a bit of stretch, but even a Buddha’s patience would run out after three strikes, and Subaru was already on his fifth attempt. If he couldn’t cling to God or Buddha, then he would have to trust in Ram’s motherly affection.

Ram:  “Stand up, Barusu. I won’t allow you to give up or to fall to your knees.”

Subaru:  “I’m just sitting down. Don’t lump all those things together, please… Upsy-daisy.” Hopping to his feet, Subaru brushed off his backside and faced Ram. Leaning against the wall, she fixed her rumpled outfit and crossed her arms, looking back at him like usual—or at least what seemed to him to be her usual demeanor.

Ram:  “…Did you say the same thing to Lady Emilia and Lady Beatrice?”
human
Subaru:  “The two of them…didn’t seem to think there was any chance I might give up.”
gpt
Ram:  “That’s true. They’ve been infected by you.”
human
Subaru:  “That’s why I can’t ask them. Or Julius or Echidna, emotionally speaking.” It probably also had something to do with the fact that he already knew how those four would answer, from interacting with them in the previous loop. He was confirming the remaining answers now. “Also… Based on what you said, it sounds like I wasn’t that special a guy even before today.”
gpt
Ram:  “Your value to me changes quite significantly, depending on whether you remember Rem or not. So be careful with your tone.” With that sharp jab, Ram turned and walked away from Subaru. They had stopped for a long time while getting the water, but if they returned empty-handed, that would just make Emilia and Beatrice worried. With the bucket in one hand, he hurried after Ram and joined her.

Subaru:  “I…Subaru Natsuki, really was here, right?” Subaru asked softly as he looked over at Ram.
