Echidna:  "This is merely my tomb.”

Subaru:  "Tomb… You mean I’m inside your grave?”

Echidna:  Echidna’s collected reply made Subaru recall the sense he’d had before entering the ruin—that the solemn atmosphere was suggestive of a temple, or a tomb. "After my death, my soul became a captive of this place, the Witches’ Tomb. It is not my body but my spirit that has invited you into my castle. Put one way, you are inside my dream.”

Subaru:  "Just the spirit, is that even possible? Meaning my body’s sleeping outside somewhere?”

Echidna:  "Why is it not possible? You know of a space similar to this, do you not?”

Subaru:  Echidna’s probing question caused Subaru’s breath to catch. "...I don’t know what you’re referring to, but what you’re saying isn’t wrong.”

Echidna:  Echidna’s words were not lies.

Subaru:  "I get that this is inside a dream and inside of your tomb. So how do I get out of here?”

Echidna:  "The method of awakening from a dream is simple. You must either strongly will yourself to awaken, or be awoken from the outside. Though it must be said, mine is a special dream. You might not be able to awaken unless I will it to be so.”

Subaru:  "—! Then don’t tell me you…!” Subaru’s gaze sharpened as Echidna’s emotionless statement shocked him.

Subaru:  "You don’t intend to let me escape, then…?”
gpt
Echidna:  "Ah, it’s not really like that. If you really want to go back, I’ll send you back. I mean, it’s not that I called you here. You intruded all on your own, you know.”

Subaru:  "Can’t you do something about my sense of tension? Mr. Serious can’t breathe like this, okay?”
gpt
Echidna:  "That is because, unlike you, Mr. Serious is not standing before me. Perhaps he is vomiting behind a tree?”

Subaru:  "You said you didn’t call me. In other words, the elf who was outside isn’t involved in this? Or this crystal?” Subaru rummaged in his pocket, locating the blue crystal with his hand.
