Chapter 5: Ep 4 Director's Cut

"We can't keep dancing around like this." Otto yelled out as the rest sat in silence.

Every one was grateful for the much needed break. They all wiped their tears and rested a bit before moving to freshen up in the bathrooms. The snacks and water-bottles were all consumed in pure silence as no one knew what to say after that scene.

They couldn't look Subaru, in the eye again after this.

How can someone die such a horrible death be able to smile so carefree?

"He's a monster." Felix whispered as his patience was broken the moment Subaru named the power.

"Big bro... how does he live through this pain?" Felt looked seriously dismayed as she thought of everything Subaru had been through.

Sure, a couple of deaths from knife wounds and a death when he was asleep were really scary but that...

dying all alone in a hallway with your arm cut off. Then having your head blown to bits...

It was just...

"The kid is not normal." Julius spoke in a calm collected manner.

No one disagreed.

"The important question here is who was it that killed Sir Natsuki in such a manner." The silent old man sitting beside Crusch finally voiced his thoughts.

It wasn't a surprise that all the other camps looked at the Emilia crowed.

They were the mansion's residents. "You must know something, since he had already saved you from it." Anastasia pointed out in a tired and stern voice. She had lost all her cheer at this camp's incompetence. They have a powerful individual on their side that had knowledge and abilities to change Lugunica for eons to come.

They have their own Hoshin and they do nothing but get him killed over and over.

The Emilia crowed simply stayed silent.

They were divided.

Otto and Garfiel waited patiently with hardened looks as they no longer wanted to joke around.

Their brother's death was brutal and unfair. Their blood boiled.

Petra continued to stick close by to Frederica and looked at the manor's residents with hesitance in her eyes. She knew that the clown had something to do with this. But her deal with Subaru forced her to stay quiet.

The little girl could not believe that her hero, the young man that she looked up too so much, had gone through such a horrible situation and kept smiling.

How was he so amazing? Petra clenched her chest in pain. Pain for the boy she loved.

Frederica was holding the girl and hugging her... but her eyes were elsewhere.

She was a maid in that mansion for most of her life...

She knew exactly who the owner of those chains was.

And she was looking at her... with a glare.

Beatrice looked forlorn into space. The little girl never left her contractor's side. Sticking close to him to feel his heart beat while staring into space. Silent.

"How couldn't I protect him? I was the grand spirit of this mansion... H-How did my Subaru die?" Beatrice trembled as the memory played once again. She failed. She failed her mother and failed her own contractor. She let him die. She let him die.
