Subaru:  "Ngh!" Overwhelmed by the force of his words, Subaru unconsciously took a step back, bumping into someone standing right behind him. Glancing back, he saw a tall, slender figure supporting him.

Julius:  He looked at Subaru with the same straightforward eyes as Garfiel and nodded. "I agree. If we’re going to do this, then you’re the only choice that makes sense, Natsuki.”

Subaru:  “Not you too…”

Anastasia:  Behind Julius, Anastasia was burying her face in her scarf. There was a swirl of indignation and annoyance at herself for her own inability to play the part, but it was also colored by a silent understanding—because she wanted to protect the city whatever the cost.

Subaru:  Having understood that point at last, Subaru finally realized the huge burden of hope that had just landed on his shoulders. “You too, Julius? Are you serious?”

Julius:  “…Do you remember back at the castle, your outburst at the knights and when I defeated you on the training grounds?”

Subaru:  Subaru caught his breath and then slowly exhaled. “That moment is a finalist in my top three for regret and humiliation. I’ll never forget it for as long as I live.”

Julius:  “I remember it well, too. Your baseless proclamation, the disgraceful way you besmirched the knightly order…but I also remember you joining in the Battle of the White Whale after that, and when you managed to defeat Sloth as well.”

Julius:  “If there is anyone in this city whose voice could ease the fear and unease of the people…then I believe that person must be none other than you. I know that if you ever asked for aid, I would gladly be there to heed your call and lend my hand. And there would be many others who would answer the call as well. Garfiel would surely stand at the head, and I would of course be there, too. You would do well to remember that.” This was an oath sworn out of an incredibly powerful sense of trust.

Subaru:  Subaru lost his bearings, shocked to his core, and he struggled to breathe at the level of trust he’d been granted. Swiveling his head, he saw Anastasia. She nodded. Turning again, he looked to Garfiel. He flashed a toothy grin and held out his fist. Julius’s eyes had never left Subaru. Turning to face Subaru head-on, he nodded elegantly.
