Echidna:  Compared to believing in something with a physical presence, she had no idea how much strength was enough to feel confident believing in something that couldn’t be confirmed. However, believing in that indefinite thing, Echidna kept her eyes right on his back.

Julius:  Julius looked down with his long eyelash-rimmed eyes. He took a long, deep breath… "That is surprisingly reassuring. Someone mustering the courage to believe in me, to have expectations of me, when I might as well be a stranger to them."

Julius:  "A message?"

Echidna:  "Yes. ‘People are fighting all around the tower, so finish up quick and come help the others.’"

Echidna:  Knowing that Subaru had meant it as an encouragement, in his own way, Echidna shared the message with Julius word for word.

Julius:  In response, Julius’s slender shoulders tensed just a little bit. He mulled over the message, taking it in. The reaction was clear and dramatic. "Hah."

"If he has broken from his shell, then I cannot allow myself to lose, either." It was quiet, but there was an intense emotion dwelling in that resolution. Raising his knight’s sword in front of himself, Julius faced his enemy.
