Anastasia:  “It makes sense why you might be uneasy about that, but…” Anastasia put her hand to her cheek. “But secret passage is selling it a bit hard, ain’t it? You wound up here, too, didn’t you?”

Subaru:  “That’s… The bird guided me here, ish.”

Anastasia:  “Which is the same as me. I was wanderin’ around the tower for a stroll when a bird came flyin’ by. I followed it after wonderin’ what was goin’ on, then found myself here.” Anastasia’s eyes narrowed as she spread her arms and mimicked a bird flying. It went without saying that wasn’t a convincing explanation.

Subaru:  Subaru did not have any evidence to disprove it, but he refused to believe such a convenient story, putting himself up on a special pedestal in the process. “These birds—”

Anastasia:  “What’s with these birds?”
gpt
Subaru:  “Ngh. That’s what I want to ask.” Her evasiveness is really uncomfortable, and the way that the birds all feel like they’re quietly watching us seriously bothers me. I can’t read anything in their eyes. The birds, the balcony… What is she thinking?

Subaru:  “Is that the bird that was flying during the sand time?”
gpt
Subaru:  “These are definitely the birds Ram used her Clairvoyance on. I don’t know what happened to them after we reached that field of demon beasts…looks like they made it here safely, though.”

Anastasia:  Anastasia’s lips curled ever so slightly into a wry smile as she tickled the throat of the bird. The bird did not react, and Anastasia sighed. “They’ve been like this the whole time. I’m pretty much puzzled by it.”

Subaru:  “From my experience, it’s basically impossible for me to believe that.”

Anastasia:  “What do you mean?”
gpt
Subaru:  “Whenever I run into some sort of situation like this carelessly, it’s pretty much always life-threatening.” He had a wealth of experience when it came to careless actions that led to near-death experiences. The oldest was when he went wandering around the mansion at night and got himself beaten to death by Rem. Omitting many, many other examples, Subaru had more or less come to the conclusion that careless actions always lead to danger. And his current situation was extremely dangerous…

Anastasia:  “Relax. I’m not thinkin’ about anything like that. I don’t have any hostility toward you. Or anyone else in this tower…Well, except the examiners.”

Subaru:  “Shaula and Reid?”
human
Anastasia:  Anastasia’s expression soured when Subaru said their names, and he noticed.
gpt
Subaru:  “Ah, right, you didn’t hear since you were asleep. The guy on the second floor… That’s Reid Astrea. The first Sword Saint. Apparently, he was summoned from the past, or at least that seems like what’s happening.”
human
Anastasia:  “This tower sounds more and more crazy the longer we’re here… What was the guy who made it thinking?” Hearing that, Anastasia responded with a stunned reaction, followed by a short follow-up. Sensing the Kararagi accent slipping from her tone, Subaru inhaled sharply. Up to then, he had by and large interacted with her as if she were Anastasia, or at least that was what he had tried to do.
