Echidna:  "Most view the past pessimistically, repudiating the path that has led them to the present. And in that repudiation, they avert their eyes, never closing the lid upon what has happened.”

Subaru:  “Um, your face is…close…!”

Echidna:  “Such a thing cannot be helped, for the you of yesterday was infinitely ignorant compared to the you of today. The you of now is at an absolute deficiency of knowledge compared to the you of tomorrow. In the sum amount of knowledge, and in the total number of memories, the past is inferior to the present, and the present is inferior to the future. That is a fact!” Paying the overwhelmed Subaru no heed, Echidna spoke exceedingly passionately, punctuating her speech by strongly slamming both hands onto the desk. “Accordingly, when people face the past, they sift through hesitation, bewilderment, anguish, and sorrow, all in search for an answer. I shall affirm whatever answer they arrive at as a result. I shall find no fault in any answer, for it is proof that you have faced your past, absorbing it and using it as your cornerstone as you overcome it.”

Subaru:  “…So that’s the objective of this trial? Huh, mission accomplished, I guess?”

Echidna:  “Facing your own past can mean accepting or rejecting it. What is important is arriving at an answer. One cannot overcome the trial with fear, anger, or cowering. However, I extol those who have either accepted their past or made a clean break with it. For that, I shall offer as many opportunities as one might desire… That is this trial!” When Subaru took this as meaning he’d passed, Echidna made that powerful declaration, raising her clenched fist. Immediately afterward, Echidna audibly gasped as she came back to her senses, her cheeks reddening as she cleared her throat and said, “I became a t-trifle too excited. I am sorry for the unsightly display.”

Subaru:  “I don’t really mind. I did get to smell your breath a lot, but it smelled like citrus fruit. More importantly…from what you’re saying, I passed the conditions for clearing the trial, right?”

Echidna:  “I believe you have displayed sufficient results for me to declare that this portion is finished.” Echidna touched a hand to her chest, her face full of satisfaction, like one savoring the aroma of luxuriant black tea. “In regards to your trauma and your lingering feelings of guilt toward your past, you have found an answer to both. This, I wish to praise with thunderous applause.”

Subaru:  “One portion… Wait, you saw me bawling my eyes out, didn’t you? !”

Echidna:  “So sowwy, before I knew it, even my eyes were moist.”

Subaru:  “Shaddap!! Don’t tell a soul, it’s embarrassing! !” Subaru couldn’t keep his cool at her being a Peeping Tom in regards to his farewell with his parents, both longing and regret bared. Her inquisitiveness that instant was a slight against Subaru’s family.

Echidna:  “But what a pity…it seems you already had your answer for facing your painful past.”

Subaru:  “Ahh?”

Echidna:  “I welcome any answer.
