Subaru:  "It’s set up to predict the future the same way the Dragon Tablet works, apparently.”

Anastasia:  "That sounds pretty hard to believe, but you said it was burned?”
human
Subaru:  “Yeah. There were two books, and they were both burned. So it shouldn’t exist anymore.”
gpt
Anastasia:  “You keep saying ‘exist.’ Where’d you hear that?”
human
Subaru:  “…From the Witch who made them…” Subaru’s face screwed into a scowl.

Anastasia:  Anastasia’s eyes widened at his response. She chewed over the word Witch for a moment, as if making sure she’d heard him right. “And this isn’t your usual joking around, right? You’re serious?”
human
Subaru:  “Yeah, deadly serious. You said it before yourself, right? There were other witches besides the Witch of Jealousy. One even died in this city, and her remains are still here somewhere, right?”
gpt
Anastasia:  “That’s a dead one, though. That’s still believable. But from what you said, it sure sounds like you actually met a witch and talked to her. And from the look on your face, it wasn’t exactly pleasant, either.”
human
Subaru:  “Yeah, I met one and talked to her, all right. And got tricked and set up by her, too. And, well, a lot happened. You get the picture.” It would be a long story if he talked about everything that had happened in the Sanctuary and in the tomb. It was a bit rude, but there was not much Subaru could say about the Witch Echidna. Or more bluntly, he really did not want to talk about her. For better or worse, Echidna had lodged some sharp thorns deep in Subaru’s heart that were not going to just go away. “Anyway, the only two copies of it that existed in this world were both burned, so the cultists missed their mark there. It should be safe to just ignore that demand of theirs.”

Anastasia:  “—But can you really trust what that witch you met said?” Anastasia fired back adroitly.

Subaru:  “” Subaru was at a loss for a moment, his eyes snapping open in shock at how the gears in his head had just stopped turning.

Anastasia:  “You’ve got your thoughts about her and clearly don’t trust her at all. But you still believe what she said. Sounds like she is a bit of a troublesome sort of person for you.”
human
Subaru:  “…I couldn’t agree more. You pretty much summed it all up perfectly. I have no intention of trusting her, so it’s weird that I don’t doubt that at all.” The things Echidna had said, the understanding she had shown: They had all been a performance in order to turn Subaru into her puppet. But did that mean he should assume everything she’d said was a lie? And was that vague uncertainty just him wanting to believe there was more to her, or was he still just getting led around by the nose by that know-it-all Witch? The same Witch who had sympathized with how painful Subaru’s Return by Death was.
