Everyone finds this out:
1. Satella loves Subaru, and he loves her back, but he doesn't know why
2. Satella punishes Subaru if he breaks "their promise"

A large group of people now stand around the Lolimancer. They seem to have come to the conclusion that he has been brainwashed.
Julius: "After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that the only solution... is repeated blunt-force therapy."
Subaru: "wait.. what?"
Ram: "yes this is the only way to save Barusu."
Emilia: "I'll hold him down."
Rem: "I'm sorry Subaru-kun but this is the only way to save you from the witch."
Petra: "please forgive us Subaru-sama!"
Beako: "Betty will run healing duty, I suppose."
Subaru: "Guys, we can talk about this!"
Garfiel: "sorry cap'n but we gotta do this."
Subaru: "S-She isn't that bad once you get to know her, I swear!"
Rem: *Clenches fist* "The vile Witch's hold on Subaru-kun is stronger than we could ever have imagined."
Ram: "you are right Rem we must double the treatment."
Felix: "what terrible abilities the witch wields."
Julius: "To force Subaru to say such words... she truly has tainted his mind."
Reinhardt: "I will have to give him the treatment."
Felt: "Yes big bro need to be given the best possible treatment to save him from the witch."
Anastasia coming in, torch and pitchfork in hand: "Where's the Witch-lover!?"
Julius: "No need to worry, Anastasia-sama. You see, by examining his actions and the information available, we have concluded that the Witch has brainwashed Subaru, and Reinhard is currently applying therapy to fix it."
Emilia: "Subaru I know your not in the right mind currently but when this is over I will give you a lap pillow."
Beatrice: "Betty will give you lots of hugs and you may headpat me."
Rem: "We need to keep any Witch Cultists from finding out about this. They may attempt to kill Subaru-kun or-"
Witch Cultist barges in*
Witch Cultist: "I have come to serve the Witch's lover!"
Rem: "Or that."
Subaru, pointing to the Witch Cultist: "I am not related to them in any way shape or form."
Ram: "Barusu do not speak everything you say is merely a waste of breath."
Julius: "Wait, was Subaru talking about the cultist or us?"
Witch Cultist: "To treat the Witch's beloved with such disrespect... you heathens shall pay for your heresy!"
Reinhardt then proceeds to complete annihilate the Cultist. While everyone's attention was on the cultist, no-one noticed the scary-eyed boy's departure.
Reinhard: "Now that they're out of the way, back to ther- and he's gone."
Rem: "how could they get Subaru-kun, he was just there.. unless the witch grabbed Subaru-kun somehow?"
Meanwhile, with Subaru...
Pandora: "Hello Subaru. I am the Witch of Vainglory, Pandora."
Subaru: ...What?
All the civilians are confused and angry. Subaru's likelyhood for survival is quite low, in fact.
