Subaru:  There was a gentleness to her voice. The next moment, Subaru realized what he had really been feeling and almost wanted to die from anger at his own pettiness. He had been thinking that it would be so much easier if she just blamed him. Because of that, he had looked down on her noble spirit and doubted her virtue. She had simply been worried for him, worried that he was suffering the same excruciating pain that she was.

Subaru:  “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” For doubting her, for her having to suffer like that, for being unable to do anything to relieve her pain: It all melded together into one great ball of remorse. He instinctively reached out, taking Crusch’s limp hand.

Subaru:  Her hand was covered by the mottled blackness. It looked distorted and was slick to the touch, which only emphasized the terrible state she was in. But—

Subaru:  “Gh, ahh? !” For a moment, an intense pain coursed through his veins, like he had grabbed a red-hot iron. Pain shot through his hand, and he reflexively let go of Crusch’s hand and looked at his own. —His hand, which should have been normal, now had the same black pattern.

Ferris:  “Let me see your hand!” Ferris took his hand, examining it as he stared in shock. The light of healing magic enveloped the dark veins, but there was no trace of pain nor sign of the black affliction fading. But Subaru realized what had happened instead.

Subaru:  “Ferris! Crusch’s hand!”

Ferris:  “What…?” Spinning around, Ferris widened his yellow eyes. The reason for his shock was Crusch’s right hand, the one that Subaru had held. The swollen blackness on her right hand had faded ever so slightly.

Subaru:  “Did it shift to my body from hers…?” There didn’t seem to be any other way to explain the way their bodies had reacted. The stark difference in what their hands looked like now was proof. The curse afflicting Crusch’s body had shifted to Subaru.

Subaru:  “B-but nothing happened to me! I touched her countless times while caring for her… See? It isn’t moving! I—I…”

Ferris:  Hearing Subaru’s hypothesis, Ferris touched the black flesh and tearfully shook his head. He was overwhelmed with anguish not by the possibility of a treatment, but at his own inability to do anything. The stark reality before him—his own inability to save his master—was just a never-ending series of difficult-to-bear blows.

Ferris:  “Even though I can’t help her…”

Subaru:  “Move aside, Ferris… I need to test this…” He felt bad for Ferris and the shock he must have been feeling, but verifying what was happening took precedence. Setting Ferris aside, Subaru faced Crusch again. She looked confused at what was happening as she looked up at him, her right eye tearing up. Subaru held out his hand, touching her cheek so that his hand covered her left eye, the one masked by an eye patch.

Subaru:  “Gh-gaaaaaaaaah!” Immediately after, it felt like his brain was being seared and magma was flowing through his veins.
