Subaru:  "...She must have realized I’m following her."

Subaru:  The repeated traps made that much obvious, but he realized she must have also sensed him on her trail. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of setting this many traps. The first few might have been set just out of caution, and under other circumstances, she would have prioritized fleeing. The fact that she hadn’t done that and had instead kept setting traps meant she was sure Subaru was pursuing her. And the reason she was sure of this had to be the Witch’s stench.

Subaru:  "How much do I stink right now…?"

Subaru:  In the past, Rem and Beatrice had told him it faded over the course of several days, but it increased sharply right after he died and returned, or whenever he was dying frequently. And in the past half a day, he had lived through all of the doubled-up Subaru Natsuki’s experiences before being teleported into the jungle.

Subaru:  "I must stink more than I ever have before.” While he contemplated that, Subaru dismantled two small traps and then a third medium-sized one, continuing to trace Rem’s footsteps using Louis’s clues. It was like Hansel and Gretel following breadcrumbs. Except Subaru was alone, and the two girls were the ones running away.

Subaru:  “Oh, this time it’s in a pretty obvious place. Next is…” Noticing a torn bit of bark, Subaru set his next course. Louis wasn’t intentionally giving him directions, so the marks didn’t actually provide much in the way of guidance, and more often than not, they were very difficult to notice. Most likely, they’d been made when Louis was left alone while Rem was setting the traps. Most of the previous signs were hard to find, so it was nice to find one that was more obvious.

Subaru:  “These are a huge help. If Rem had noticed and covered them up, I wouldn’t be…” Just as he was about to finish that thought, Subaru froze. Then he went back to the tree he had just passed and looked at where the bark had been scraped away. It was a big, healthy-looking tree, and the mark had been put in a fairly noticeable place. Would Rem really have missed that?

Subaru:  “Knowing Rem…” Given how attentive and perceptive she was, she would have covered any obvious marks.
