Subaru:  “A decade, a century, and then my four centuries—as if all this could be overturned by none other than an ordinary man like you! !”

Roswaal:  “…Because feelings don’t change?”

Subaru:  “That’s right!”

Roswaal:  “Because you’ve kept on believing in those feelings for a really long time?”

Subaru:  “Yes, indeed it is!” Subaru inquired.

Roswaal:  Roswaal acknowledged everything. He was saying that feelings were something no one could overcome. He was saying that feelings were not something that could be changed or altered.

Subaru:  Subaru felt like he finally understood. He finally felt like he understood Roswaal’s true thoughts. —Roswaal wanted affirmation of his own feelings. He believed this was how feelings should be. He wanted to believe the feelings of others beyond himself would affirm his own. That was why Roswaal wanted Garfiel to wallow in his weakness.

Subaru:  —Before challenging him to their final wager, Roswaal had said this to Subaru. It is impossible for me to hate you. I trust you, from the bottom of my heart. At the moment, Roswaal’s eyes seethed with anger, glaring with a killing gaze at the man he hated most in the world.

Roswaal:  “Just like how you believe in others’ strength, I believe in remaining weak! Because I believe people are weak, frail, puny beings able to accomplish nothing unless they cling to a single, important thing!”

Roswaal:  “For four hundred years my feelings have been dedicated to a single woman. The time I have spent unable to touch her is far longer than the days we spent together, yet the sight of her is burned forever in me. My soul has been in ashes ever since.
