Rem and Ram were doing their best as they were running up the stairs, both of them worried for Subaru and Shaula's sake. As the pair were heading up the stairs, Rem stopped for a moment as she looked back down the stairs. Ram stopped as she noticed this, seeing how concerned her sister is for Subaru's sake.

Although she didn't want to think about it, she was also worried for the boy's sake. During the one year peace time, she had grown attached to the boy though in a friend like way but she also had grown close to Naoko.

Having been maid friends for a year, she not only values the friendship between the two but views her as a mother figure. She pats her sister on the side and tries to reassure her by saying,

"Barusu is reckless but we need to trust in him. He is a good man with good timing."

"I know Subaru-kun can handle himself...but against that thing! We should've stayed and help!"

"Rem-san, I understand but we need help. If that thing is anything like the witch...we will need all the help we can get."

Rem took a moment to think, having recalled every loop where Subaru had to deal with not only the witch of envy but Reid, the Organization members, and the two Sin Archbishop of Gluttonies. She knows how dangerous it is to face off the Witch of Envy, especially when in one loop Elsa sacrificed herself to save them all.

This made her concern if they can even beat the witch since she is powerful. As she was thinking like this, Ram hugged her to bring some comfort. Rem at first was shocked for a few seconds until a smile appeared in her face, happy to see her sister comforting her. The two hugged for a moment before finally Ram said,

"We will help Barusu. Despite how stupid he is, we won't let him die."

"Okay nee-sama."

Rem nodded and quickly the two oni sisters ran up the stairs to meet up with the others, both of them having hope that Subaru will last long especially with Shaula's assistance. Once the two get up to the floor where Reid was located, they noticed that Elsa, Kishida, and Julius were doing their best to fight off the heartless that were in the room.

This prompted the two oni sisters to run into the fight and join in with Rem jumping in and starting to punch the shadow heartless, taking them out with each punch. Ram joined in and quickly summoned her two dream eaters to help on the offensive, knowing that she doesn't have the necessary strength to fight. As Rem and Ram's two dream eaters had joined in, Beatrice noticed this and quickly questioned the two,

"Where is Betty's Subaru, in fact?"

"Subaru-kun is with Shaula. The two are facing...the witch of envy."

"What?"

Everyone in the room had noticed what Rem had said, causing them to worry since they don't understand on how Subaru and Shaula are fighting the witch of envy. Furthermore, they know that anybody fighting the jealous witch would just be a death sentence. Kishida paused for a moment since he was worried for his friend's sake.

He looked at Rem for a few seconds before returning focus on the battle at hand, using one of Reid's sticks to attack the heartless. Julius quickly used his spirits to power his sword and body up in hopes of taking the heartless out quickly. As the group tries to hurry up so they can help Subaru, Beatrice took a moment to think before attempting to leave the room in order to help her contractor yet Naoko and Kenichi both stopped her.

"What are you doing, I suppose?"

"You need to be careful, little beako. My amazing son wouldn't want you to jump in on the fight."

"Yes, we have to trust in my baby boy."

Beatrice looked at both Naoko and Kenichi, surprised by what they said yet she understood their choice. This prompted her to have a level head and to trust in her contractor, knowing that he can take care of himself. As Beatrice returned to the two, Kenichi looked at his sword for a moment before finally deciding to go into battle. Just as he was going to attack the heartless, Naoko was quick enough to stop him. As she stops him, she begins to say in a concern tone,
