Subaru:  The unexpected gust, mixed with the scent of flowers, sent his forelocks aflutter, and after a moment of shock, wondering what had just happened, he realized— —the long line of land dragons had vanished, and he was alone.

Subaru:  "What the—? !" He immediately realized he was in an emergency situation. But he didn’t know what had happened. Wide-eyed, Subaru surveyed the area, hands still gripping the reins.

Subaru:  "No, I’m not alone."

Subaru:  "…" Drawing the reins close, the stiff-bodied Subaru was still riding on Patlash. The low body temperature conveyed through the saddle was intact; he figured he hadn’t been split off from things he was in physical contact with.

Subaru:  "If that’s so, some kind of spatial distortion or teleport… Then…?" He’d been split off from his allies in the blink of an eye, so he figured the method had to be along those lines. The scenery Subaru was looking at had not changed. Maybe it was everyone but Subaru who’d been jumped somewhere else. And naturally, only the Witch Cult benefited from isolating Subaru from the others.

Subaru:  "Shit! This ain’t the time to stare into space, Patlash!" Subaru cracked the reins and sent the land dragon galloping as he berated himself for being so slow to grasp the situation.

Subaru:  Patlash neighed, and her strong legs propelled them in an instant—Subaru was attempting to use speed, enough to send the wind itself flying, to extricate them from their isolated situation. During that time, Subaru squinted, wary of attack from any direction. If his guess was right, Unseen Hands might well come flying from yet another Sloth.

Subaru:  "…" But in spite of Subaru’s wariness, there was no sign of Unseen Hands coming. Doubts crept in, and simultaneously, uncertainty formed in Patlash’s steps. The cause was the same thing that was giving Subaru pause: though they’d sprinted at full speed for tens of seconds, the scenery didn’t seem to have changed at all. Mere teleportation could not explain this situation. It made him recall a similar experience.

Subaru:  "This is like Beatrice’s infinite corridor…? But there’s no doors here!" Only once had Subaru experienced a similar phenomenon: when Beatrice, a little girl living at Roswaal Manor, had used magic to turn a corridor into a spatial loop. At the time, Subaru’s keen judgment had led him to open the correct door, immediately bringing the matter to an end. However, it would not be so simple this time around. They were in the wild, and there were no doors to be had, correct or otherwise. In other words, Subaru’s intuition was useless for resolving the situation.
