First Encounter
As the screen plays the people in the theater were silent part of it was because they were speechless or concentrating on the screen making sure not to miss anything. All of the people in the theater were trapped in their thoughts creating hypostasis and such about what's to happen.
Pain.
He thought he knew it before; thought that all the shit he'd been through would have prepared him for this, but the fire coursing through his veins was unlike anything he'd ever experienced.
His body was pulled apart and rearranged repeatedly as the energy of the void burned off his remaining skin.
He tried to breathe, but he had lost one of his lungs to the abyss.
He tried to scream, but his windpipe had been crushed by the vacuum of space.
He tried to die, but God wouldn't let him.
All he could do was wait…
…and wait…
As they watched they confused and anxious as to what was happening but they couldn't bear to break the concentration of the others so they just kept silent, waiting for something to happen to break the silence.
Time had no meaning in this place, but he swore he had been there for years. He was a shell of himself, resembling a classroom skeleton more than a man. He no longer felt pain, or anything, really. He had been numbed to it all.
At least, he had thought that he was. Colliding with solid ground and breaking his remaining bones brought him to a harsh reality.
White filled his vision. So, he was finally dying.
Petra unable to wait for something to happen as the person in the screen was dying, she opened her mouth to say something and break this unbearable silence that make you think you were alone.
Petra: Somebody! Please help him!.. Please…
Petra unable to help the person on the screen was screaming at the screen hoping somebody else could the person on the screen.
As the others heard the little girl break the silence that makes you think your isolated, the snapped out of their trance and were reminded once again how powerless they were at influencing at what happens on the screen for all they could do was watch.
Fredrica the person next to Petra grabbed her and pulled her in for a warm embrace hoping it would calm down the girl on her side. Petra embraced by her Fredrica-neesama pushed her head closer to the stomach of the one hugging her as if to hide her teary face.
Seeing the maid girl and the big maid hugging the others were finally able to calm down and slowly process what's been happening, since so much things were happening non-stop they were subconsciously worked up and seeing the maid calmed them down and broke the long silence that was there before.
"—er, we…help—"
Otto: Look at the screen there's a person helping him, Petra.
Otto in attempt to help Fredrica calm Petra called out to them, making them bring their attention back at the screen where they saw a familiar.. face?
Actually, it was more of a silver…Was that a face?
"—going…right."
He had never seen a more beautiful woman. Perhaps sending an angel was God's way of apologizing for his torture.
Emilia getting the attention of all the others in the theater as the others was waiting for her to say something. Emilia getting the attention of all the people in the theater looked shocked and after a couple of seconds opened her mouth to say something.
Emilia: I- That's not me! I don't remember this… but if that… Isn't I then it can only be that one other person.
After hearing Emilia's answer all of them turned their heads back to the screen having drawn the same conclusion in their minds. "This is still showing The Witch of Envy and Subaru's past"
Reinhard: Calm down Emilia-sama, it maybe just showing us Subaru's past just like the screen told us earlier.
After hearing Reinhard's calming voice Emilia's shock gradually lessens. After that the screen then continued to play from where it left off
A hand rested on his cheek as warmth spread throughout his body.
"Rest. You're safe now."
He closed his eyes…and awoke to an unfamiliar ceiling.
Otto: Maybe this is how Natsuki-san and the Witch met?
Otto trying to make sense of the situation says his thoughts so that he can get the confirmation that they all thought the same thing. And at Otto's words another person agreed.
Anastasia: Ya', we mayb' able to know why and how he got his "Authority" or "curse" from the witch?
Anastasia curious for the reason why Subaru out of all people got the authority and what happened to the world four hundred years ago agreed at Otto's remark.
Beatrice: Will you stop calling her "the Witch", I suppose.
After having enough of people calling somebody she knew get called the most awful name out in the world decided to give them some piece of her mind.
At the Great spirit's demand the others just looked at her with a face saying "why should I", seeing that other people in the theater had the same thought decided to get the reason out of the Great spirit before it turns into an argument the finest knight decided to speak.
Julius: Why should we, Great spirit-sama?
At Julius' question everyone turned to look at the proud Great spirit waiting for her to answer, Beatrice noticing that the others were now listening puffed up her chest and proudly responded.
Beatrice: Number one she has a name, I suppose, number two we seem to be seeing the past before she turned into the Witch of Envy, number three there are too many witches and calling her the Witch of Envy every time is too long when she has a name, in fact.
Julius: You make a good point, as expected of the Great spirit.
Beatrice: Of course! I am Subaru's Betty ,I suppose!
Julius after giving the answer and comlimenting the Great spirit turned his head back to the screen as so did a few others.
After hearing Beatrice reasons or the reasons she insisted anyways, everyone considered it and accepted it. But they knew why Beatrice wanted them to stop calling her the Witch but let it slide, besides calling her the Witch of Envy instead of calling her name was too long as the Great Spirit said.
Emilia: Beatrice your so cute!
Emilia hearing this cute spirit say that she's Subaru's spirit so proudly made her want to praise the spirit and give her a gentle head pat, which she did.
He took a deep breath. He couldn't do that before.
Finally, he could be at peace.
"'Tis good to see you awake," came a voice like a silver bell. He looked over and found the angel from before. She was even more stunning now that he could see her clearly.
"Where am I?" He tried to ask but found himself unable to speak. The girl seemed to understand, though.
"You are at my mother's home. You're still healing, so please exercise caution before moving."
Emilia: Hey, Beatrice do you know who the mother she's referring to is?
Emilia being curious asks innocently to Beatrice who might know the answer to her question, hearing Emilia's question everyone in the room was now waiting for the Great spirit on a sleeping Subaru's lap to answer.
Beatrice: Why are you asking me this question, I suppose?
Beatrice not wanting to answer gave a rhetorical question so that she won't have to answer Emilia's question and bring up the past memories of about that person.
Emilia: Well you said you met with Satella the girl on screen, so I thought you might know.
Emilia oblivious as to that Beatrice answered honestly and innocently. As Emilia says the name of the witch some flinched a little while others just didn't react.
Beatrice: Just continue to watch, I suppose, and she will be shown, in fact.
Beatrice not wanting to answer the question and wanting to end the conversation said her reply in a quick and clear voice.
Emilia: Ok, I got it.
Emilia understanding that Beatrice doesn't want to answer just replied in a short and gentle manner. Bringing their attention back to the screen as the conversation ended the screen played where it previously stopped.
Healing? So, he wasn't dead?
He didn't know how to feel about that.
If he wasn't dead, then he shouldn't feel this…whole. He felt his arms, legs, torso, and everything else that was lost.
It wasn't fair. This wasn't supposed to happen. Yes, he knew what he wished for, but this wasn't what he meant! He wanted it to be quick, not for—
"Shhh…" A hand threaded its way through his hair, calming him immensely. It was a pleasant, albeit foreign sensation. He hadn't felt a touch like this since…well, ever.
"Everything will be all right," soothed the woman. "I know this is scary. You're in an unfamiliar place, and you're wounded, but do not worry about a thing. I will take care of you."
Felix: Is the girl a healer? She seems to know how to take care of the injured… but if she's a healer then!..
Felix thought, "How can half the world be destroyed… too little information and too many questions" Felix was biting his thumb nail as he thought this.
Reinhard seeing his friend having troubles decides to go and try and soothe his friend's mind.
Reinhard: Don't worry too much Felix, you're not the only one worrying and wondering what happened it is the reason why we were shown this together in the first place.
Felix hearing Reinhard just nodded his head saying in his mind "yeah" and decides to get his attention back on the screen. Reinhard seeing that Felix has looked back to the screen follows suit and looks back satisfied that he could calm his friend no matter how little.
So many questions ran through his mind, but there was one thing he needed to know. This kind, gentle, beautiful stranger…What was…
"Wh- ah…"
"Take your time."
"Wh…Wh…What…"
"Here, I shall get you some water. That should help." She stood up, but with what little strength he had left, he grabbed onto her arm.
With his eyes, he pleaded, "Don't go."
Her eyes—a mezmerizing shade of amethyst—softened at the sudden gesture. "I suppose I can stay," she said quietly. "But please, do not stress your throat."
He could handle it. He just needed to ask: "Wh-what's…y-your name?"
She smiled at him, causing his heart to beat frantically in his chest.
"My name is Satella."
As the words left the girls' mouth the screen slowly turns dark again signaling the end of the episode.
Felt: So no matter who it is and no matter what the first this big bro ask is her name?
Felt impressed that even though he was just woke up from dying and reassembled the first thing he asked was the girls name.
As Priscella was about to insult Felt as she heard her remark a voice interrupted her before she could open her mouth.
Hey did you guys enjoy that little episode? Do you want a break or something?
Upon hearing the voice everyone looked back at the screen noticing the presence was back on the screen after the episode was finished.
Anastasia: What wa's that! t'was too short for me t' see what was goin' on and it jus' gave more questions rather than answers and ya want us' to take a break?
Anastasia complaining because nothing really happened in the short episode worth talking about, earned the agreement of the others.
Roswaal: Thaaaatsss right, nothing note woorrtthhyyy really happened this time around since the last time.
Hearing Roswaal was enough to piss off some people and some didn't care that much, but they all thought the same "that the episode was too short".
Fine! I was just being considerate for you guys… well fine, I'll go get the next one while you guys chat or something you jerks.
After the screen spoke the presence seem to have left to get something, "he must be getting the next one" they thought in silence.
Beatrice: So that's how you two met, I suppose.
Emilia: Beatrice, didn't you already know how they met?
Emilia thinking that Beatrice was already in the world as the events happen in screen asked innocently to Beatrice. Upon hearing Emilia's question Beatrice shakes her head saying no using head and replying-
Beatrice: No… I was created a few years after I think, in fact. When I met them they were already as close as lovers, I suppose.
Hearing Beatrice answer Emilia lower her eyes and looked the ground thinking of something that has been always in her mind since this viewing started but a thought she hated so much that she actively redirect her thought to some place when that thought comes, but it seems she can't look away forever and has to face her thoughts and look for the truth.
Emilia: Hey… Beatrice, do you think Subaru only loves me because I look identical to her?
As Emilia said this the Great spirit was about to open her mouth to rebuke this stupid girl when suddenly an unexpected voice interupted them.
Shaula: Please stop being stupid and intulting towards Master, PLEASE!
Shaula a little bit mad at Emilia for basicaly saying to her "Your Master only loves me because I look the same towards my Ex doesn't he?" at least that's the way Shaula interpreted her words.
Shaula: Sure Master might like Shaula because she has a BEAUTIFUL BODY! BUT! He still loves me because I'm Shaula and I'm sure the same goes for you.
Melli: Even if you act dumb most of the time you say something good every once in a while, Naked Onee-san.
Impressed yet again at how great her Naked Onee-chan actually is than the credit she's given for looked in awe as her supposed student.
Emilia: BUT!-
Emilia about to say something self-deprecating opens her mouth but found herself interrupted by the little girl sitting on Subaru's lap.
Beatrice: As much as hate to agree with that girl she is right, I suppose, and besides our Subaru doesn't have a memory about 400 years ago anyway, in fact!
Finding no holes in Beatrice's solid argument closed and opened her mouth with no words coming out to refute it, after a couple of seconds she turned her mouth into her usual smile looking like she agreed to Shaula and Beatrice's words nodded her head to them.
Emilia: I guess you're right, Hm! I got it!
Emilia being told "no" by the Scorpion and the Great spirit replied in a louder voice as if to convince herself but she couldn't help but thought about it so she decided in her mind "I'll put this off for now and think about it later after Subaru wakes up and I'll ask him!" she thought.
Ok I'm back did I miss anything?... Yes?.. Well it was probably nothing Important… So are you ready people!
Garfiel & Mimi: YEAH!
The two said as the next episode was about to be shown hoping to figure out more then the last two episodes.
Well you sure are energetic.. lucky you I wish I could be like that I'm sleepy as hell… Well here it is your short awaited episode!
Confused about the Screens random mood swings didn't reply just like the previous one, they were instead looking at the screen focused as it lit up and the next episode was starting—
This one is short but it took me longer than I thought the next one will be longer to write cause of irl stuff needing to be done but those should be easy to do expect the next chapter coming out next week or two at latest.
