Subaru:  Feeling a dull ache in his chest, Subaru scratched his head. "Hey, the timing is a bit strange, but can I ask you about something?”

Meili:  “Ehhh? …Don’t you have enough girls already, mister?”
human
Subaru:  “You’ve got it all wrong! It’s not like that!”
gpt
Meili:  “Just kidding… If you want to ask something, then just go ahead and ask.” Cocking her head, Meili’s eyes narrowed coquettishly. There was an air about her that was almost alluring.

Subaru:  “If you say so, then here goes nothing… When did you become a killer?”
gpt
Meili:  “—Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
human
Subaru:  “Eh?! What?! Why are you laughing at that?” He had tried to ask it with as much solemnity as he could muster, but the way she burst out laughing left Subaru bewildered.

Meili:  Meili wiped the tears from her eyes before she answered. “Sorry, it just seemed like a question you maybe should have asked sooner. I mean, I’ve been at your mansion for like a year now, right? How did you not care about that until after we came to this sandy tower?”
human
Subaru:  “I guess when you put it that way… So I shouldn’t have just been giving you plushies?”
gpt
Meili:  “You know, it’s because you gave me presents that I like you, mister. Hee-hee.” Putting her hand to her mouth, Meili’s eyes were playful as she looked at Subaru.
human
Subaru:  He had a point. It was terribly late to be wondering that now. The only reason Subaru had thought of it then was because they were in an archive filled with the memories of the dead. Because the feeling of death is undeniably all around us here… “I just forgot about it until we started poking around in a place like this…”

Meili:  “You forgot?”
human
Subaru:  “For the past year, you’ve been in the girl-playing-with-dolls category, is all. I don’t think I’m the only one who sees you that way, either.”
gpt
Subaru:  Of course, he wasn’t so easygoing that he totally forgot how dangerous Meili could be. In fact, right after they had caught her and locked her away in the mansion, they had been extremely on guard. But she never tried to escape or make any attempts to harm anyone at the mansion, and so over time, they relaxed around her. “It was complicated, but you got along with Petra pretty well, too, right?”
human
Meili:  “Haaah… You know Petra was really, really stubborn, right?”
gpt
Subaru:  “She was?”
human
Meili:  “Mm-hmm. She said she didn’t know if I was a friend or foe, so I could do whatever I wanted to her. I couldn’t betray her after that.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Wow, that’s amazing. Petra’s a little devil…” Hearing that Petra had been working so hard behind the scenes, Subaru was surprised. He had no idea that Petra and Meili’s heart-warming friendship had that kind of backstory.
