Act 1: So that happened

Well then, that was certainly unexpected. Who could have thought the dimwit simp actually has some potential, kind of.

*Not bad earth person, not bad*

Mattin said, still in his invisible astral form. He didn't ignore the fact that Subaru looked like he had a traumatizing experience.

"Weave"

Actual flesh began to weave itself around Mattin as he became a visible entity. He quickly paced towards the bed where Subaru was sleeping, surprising the twins as he walked by.

"We need to talk"

He said, grabbing Subaru by the collar and flying away with him, breaking the roof as a result.

"Errr?" (×2)

Ram and Rem said simultaneously as they gave each other confused looks.

Meanwhile Subaru is "softly" dropped on the grounds of the pathway leading to the mansion just a few miles away from the residence.

"Ouch! you know there's something called being nice?, you should try it sometime"

Subaru said dusting himself off.

"Just quit your ranting and tell me what you know?"

Mattin responded to Subaru.

"About what?"

Subaru asked rhetorically.

"About time going fr🤬king backwards, I know for a fact that you're behind this, Sirius told me something was off, now I know what it means, so tell me, WHAT THA HECK DID YOU DO?"

"I DON'T KNOW"

"DON'T LIE TO ME HUMAN"

Mattin said in a demonic voice, which made Subaru fall back down in fear. It was at this moment that Mattin knew that he wasn't lying. It wasn't the fear, but the sadness in his eyes, it looked like someone who was about to lose it, and someone who was too broken to do anything at the same time.

"Okay, maybe that was too much"

Mattin said reaching out to him with his hand.

"You think?"

Subaru responded whilst grabbing Mattin's hand and using it to get up. They both began to slowly walk towards the mansion. They began to talk along the way.

"So, wanna tell me what's going on?"

Mattin asked, softly this time.

Subaru took a deep breath before speaking up.

"I don't know how, but somehow, I appeared in this world. At first I thought that huh? You know, maybe this is a sign, a sign for me to start over and be awesome, like some chosen hero. But it didn't take long for me to decipher this world's cruel side, so far, that is the only part it has shown me. It beats me down like a chef angry at his sandwich. This blessing, or curse, is an example of that cruelty, It happens everytime I die, I have to relive survival points in time, a cycle of suffering that doesn't stop until the issue at hand is resolved"

Huh?

Subaru stuttered.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, It's probably just my imagination, but I felt as if something bad was supposed to happen"

"Yeah, it probably just your imagination, anyway, if your problem is time dilation then I can't overlook it, I'll help you"

"Really, Thanku!!!!!!!"
