—The white void fell away, and the vibrant world on the other side reconstructed itself.

It was a mysterious feeling, like being in a colorless space, watching from the inside as the world was progressively painted in color.

The Odo Ragna cradle. The corridors of memory.

Subaru Natsuki’s existence had been torn from that space outside the world. His fragmentary consciousness was bound back up, and gradually his self was reconstructed…

“—Subaru.”

The first thing he felt was a badly parched throat.

Then something cold and hard against his back and bottom. He had apparently been sitting against a wall. Opening his eyes, he blinked several times until the world came into focus, and then he saw the blue eyes peering into his.

The eyes with a butterfly-like pattern, and the adorable face that went with them…

“Beatrice…?”

“…You seem conscious again. You saying Betty’s name first would seem to indicate you didn’t lose your memory somewhere along the way.”

“…Yeah. I remember. You’re a cutie.”

Subaru responded as relief flooded Beatrice’s eyes, and then she started touching his face and chest. Her little palms felt ticklish. He also inspected himself.

He had given Beatrice a confident reply without knowing how Louis—how Gluttony—ate memories and names. It was hard to prove the existence of memories.

But he stifled that fear and told himself that Subaru Natsuki was right where he should be.

“It…should be okay. The promises and the love are all there in my heart.”

His heart raced when he thought about Emilia, and because he cared about Beatrice, he wanted to pat her head. And he prayed from the bottom of his heart for his comrades’ safety. That was the proof that he was Subaru.

“…How long was I out? It doesn’t feel like it’s only been a moment.”

Using Beatrice’s warmth to steady and center himself, he realized he was in a different position from when he had gotten pulled into the corridors of memory. He should have been in front of the shelf, but he had been pushed off to the wall, and more than anything…

“Emilia-chan and Ram, and Julius and Shaula aren’t here…?” Subaru furrowed his brow.

“Looks like you woke up, Natsuki.”

Echidna touched her light purple hair as she walked over to him. Meili was beside her, looking bored. Noticing he was awake, she pursed her lips.

“Finally? You’re such a sleepyhead. I was so tired of waiting.”

“Sleepyhead? That’s a cute turn of phrase… As it happens, I finally made it back from an unexpected life-or-death struggle. Show a little sympathy.”

“An unexpected life-or-death struggle… I would love to know more about that, but while you were sleeping, things started moving here, too. That’s why Julius and the others aren’t here.”

Beatrice, Echidna, and Meili were with Subaru in Taygeta. From the look on Echidna’s face, it was clear she was concerned about the safety of everyone else who wasn’t present.

“You were asleep for almost an hour, I suppose. The other books only took a few seconds, so we were worried that something might have happened to you.”

“An hour…that…seems to match up with what it felt like to me.
