Amidst the disease that slowly took Subaru from the heart; has he slowly been greeted by the underlying greeting of death. Unavoidable it is. It's something everyone has to experience eventually. He truly undergoes the appreciation of him having a wonderful life with Emilia forever. After finally setting Satella free; after accomplishing and saving everyone… he can finally die at peace. The countless suffering can finally be left behind, and he is finally free to sleep in the absence of stress.
"It's… been a hard… and rough life… But finally… I can live at peace."
The countless edges of pain can finally be ceased. His life is over, and dying next to Emilia… who has also had a disease; is like a gift from the heavens. Dying with the person you love, can be the greatest gift death itself could give you. No stress on the girl you love will happen. It can finally end. This adventure can end, and the world can remain happy.
"T… Thank you… Subaru Natsuki.."
Said a calm distant voice in the distance. Dying next to someone you love is both a gift and a curse. Next to his hands, the half-elf of which he saved and protected throughout the entirety of his life died next to him. Death is unavoidable, and everyone has to experience it eventually. As he hears the faint coughs of both him and Emilia; darkness slowly envelops his sights. It was finally to die. Die happily, and peacefully... never to experience the pain and anguish he experienced previously. Dying next to someone you love is both a gift and a curse. Next to his hands, the half-elf of which he saved and protected throughout the entirety of his life died next to him. Death is unavoidable, and everyone has to experience it eventually.
As he hears the faint coughs of both him and Emilia; darkness slowly envelops his sights. It was finally to die. Die happily, and peacefully... never to experience the pain and anguish he experienced throughout his life ever again. The darkness slowly fades in, and the ringing in his ears subsided. At last... both of them died together.
Happily holding their hands; just like Subaru's first loop. But instead of holding hands in the darkness, moonlight, and cold... it is instead both of them holding hands happily in warmth and sunlight. This was it. The conclusion to his adventure finally came to an end. Darkness is in his eyes, and his earring has subsided. It's as silent as day, and there in front of him; lives a nice flashing light at the end of the tunnel.

[ Play Re: Zero Season 2 OST- Malicious second hand by Kenichiro Suehiro for the best experience.]
The sounds of a ticking clock; blurted out. Echoing within the dark abyss. Subaru is clueless on where that malicious sound of the second hand is coming from, but he knew it might be a bad sign. That flashing light at the end of the dark tunnel wasn't heaven nor hell. Instead… it was a large screen of every single memory of him in his life, slowly rewinding from finish to start. A Theatre of memories you can call it, where only Subaru was invited. He couldn't move. His legs stiffened, and the screen of the rewinding memories filled his sights. The many appearances of Subaru changed and synced every second it played.
"H-Huh?"
The sound of the malicious second hand grows stronger and heavier, as the images and memories paneled like a speeding slideshow. Rewinding itself. The memories surrounded him and swallowed the dark abyss. Subaru yelled out to himself.
"What's… happening? Why can't I move?"
Then, a dark intriguing silhouette stood in front of Subaru. Long silver hair, two pointy ears; and shining amethyst eyes. A dark cloak surrounded her; covered in shadow. Knowing that typical dress; he knew that was no other than Satella herself.
"Satella? What are you doing here?"
As the ticks of the second hand grow stronger, the memories slowly start to rewind to him. The silver-haired half-elf responded.
"I am deeply grateful for all you have done for me. And… I want…"
The dark silhouette raised his voice; fallen into disbelief at what's happening.
"I never want this love to end."
His brown pupils widened, and a shiver went down through his very spine. He couldn't believe it. After all, he has done for her, and everyone else; she still didn't feel satisfied. It greatly reminded him of the greedy Witch of Greed's persona.
"What?! A-Again?! Why… WHY?!"
The half-elf remained silent, as the memories flashed back to when he was at the sand dunes and the Kingdom of Wolves.
"ANSWER ANSWER! I wanted to die happily, not… this."
Inaudible voices filled his mind, slowly pushing him and driving him to insanity. The half-elf slowly approached him; with her long silver hair swaying side to side, as the sounds of the malicious second hand grew heavier, and heavier, and louder, and louder.
"I love you so much, I never want this love to end. I never ever ever ever ever ever ever want it to end. Never. . . . . .Never."
He gripped his hands and fell into pure disbelief. After all the trouble he got to after he even fulfilled Satella's desires; it seems it wasn't enough for her. He came to a realization that this monster isn't Satella, but no other than The Witch of Envy. As the Witch of Envy keeps on repeating herself; Subaru raises his voice in pure anger.
"AFTER ALL I HAVE DONE FOR YOU, YOU STILL WANT MORE?! JUST… JUST HOW SELFISH ARE YOU?! YOU'RE A WITCH. YOU ARE TRULY A WITCH! You're worse than the Witch of Greed! I can't believe it. I can't believe it after everything. After every single thing I have done for you and everyone else; your evil spirit wants more. You're… truly evil. No… you're beyond evil for making a person go out with this." The dark silhouette hastily raised her arm and forced Subaru to silence. The memories grow closer and closer to the very beginning. "I want you to never die, and keep on doing things for me. I NEVER EVER WANT THIS LOVE TO PERISH!"
Subaru tried in his best efforts to break the barrier that's forcing him to silence, but he couldn't. He felt weak. So weak he couldn't truly make it out. What truly set the stone for him, is when he saw Rem's smiling face rewinding back. The half-elf resumed her smooth whispers and pressed her dark lips against Subaru's ear.
"I never ever want this to end."
The memories grow closer and closer to the beginning. Showing Emila's ice crystals as far as the loot house; slowly rewinding back to her palms. Subaru shook his head and broke the seal which forced him to be silent.
"STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN! I WANT EVERYONE TO LIVE PEACEFULLY WITHOUT ME!"
The Witch hastily pushed him to the dark ground and paralyzed him. She saw the deepest and evilest grin he has ever seen. Shone with a purple luminance, and a ridged crooked smile. Her amethyst eyes are filled with lifelessness, as the theatre of memories slowly rewinds to the very, very beginning. She slowly pressed her lips against Subaru's right ear and whispered.
"I love you. I love you. I never want this to end. I never want this to end. I never want this to end…"
As Subaru tried to move, he could only see darkness… and the sound of irritating loud noises and muffles filled his mind. He heard the Witch constantly repeating her whispers over and over again… as the sight of darkness envelops his pupils, and the sight of the very beginning began to appear.
"Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never.

Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never..."
The sounds grew louder, and deep in Subaru's mind; he began to cry. As the darkness lingers within his legs and arms, he feels his memories getting torn away from his mind.
"Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never.

Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never..."
Each and every memory slightly gets torn away from Subaru's mind, as he constantly hears the Witch's whispers echo within his hearing.
"Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never."
That was the only word Subaru Natsuki could hear before until the sight of complete darkness formed in front of him. The last words he heard before everything in his life resets, are those impactful, exaggerated, and saturated three words he heard so many times in his life. There was no sound, no sight, nothing. But only the words...
"I… love… you."
Then Subaru's vision grows dark.
Lost and penniless, those few words were all he could think of. (He had not a single memory of anything. Nothing at all.)
Well, penniless wasn't quite right. He did have his wallet in his pocket and setting aside the fact that he had an abundance of small change and very few notes, it couldn't be denied that he had his assets on him.
More than enough to go to the nearest mall to do some shopping and eat some lunch. Even so, he could only be called penniless.
"Looks like the currency around here is completely different after all…"
Flipping the rare ridged 10 yen coin he was holding, the youth sighed deeply. He was an unremarkable youth bearing short black hair and average stature. He had some muscularity which combined with his cheap jersey gave off the air of an athlete. (Restarting...)
His sharp eyes were his only noteworthy feature, and now even they drooped helplessly. The banality of his appearance was such that one could instantly lose him in a crowd, however, the gazes directed at him were those of wonder and incomprehension, as though they were looking at something strange. Obviously, there wasn't a single person sporting black hair or a jersey among those looking at him. Their hair varied extensively, blonde, white, brown, green, blue, and so on. Furthermore, their outfits were armor, dancers' clothes, monotone robes, and more which possessed a certain vibe.
The youth could only cross his arms in comprehension as their brazen gazes washed over him.
"So basically, it's like that, huh."
Snapping his fingers, he pointed at those who were staring at him.
"Seems I've been summoned to another world." (Restarting his life... forever.)
Before his eyes was a carriage drawn by a massive lizard-like being.
And so… Subaru's memories of everything have been wiped out. And this is his fate. This same exact life of his will repeat. Over and over and over and over and over again. Forever and for eternity. The same series of events will play out for eternity. Erased with no memory of his previous life.
Subaru Natsuki will be Repeating his life from Zero... forever.
