Rem's consciousness drifted through a dark and murky void as she felt the effects of the magic Beatrice had cast, allowing her to see Lyra's memories. With the dark inkiness behind her, Rem felt as if she stood before a much-clearer blackness.
This must be it. Beatrice-sama said Rem must manipulate Lyra-chan's memories like a book, so Rem must try opening it...
Trying to imagine herself opening a large tome, a brightness began to form from the clear blackness before her. Filling her vision.was a view of hands scrubbing away at dishes. Everything looked rather familiar, from the dishes to the sink, Rem recognized them as the mansion's own. Those hands were also recognizable. Hands she had held before and given mana to. Hands she enjoyed holding. Lyra's hands. With nothing happening, it was like Rem was staring at a painting of Lyra’s hands on the dishes. Thinking, Rem decided on how to proceed.
If it truly IS like a book, then Rem must flip the pages...
Rem imagined herself turning a page as the scene progressed. Lyra spent a few moments scrubbing the dishes under the warm water before taking them out and beginning to dry them. As she did, the scene stopped once more. Rem had been imagining turning the page of a book, but stopped. As the scene played out, Rem felt a very faint sensation on her non-existent hands, as if she herself could feel something that Lyra could feel. She was already seeing her memories from her perspective, so it did not feel unnatural that she could feel what she felt.
Rem still has no idea when this could be... Lyra-chan has probably washed the dishes a few times now, so Rem should look further to see where she is in Lyra-chan's memories...
"Turning the pages" once more, Rem continued to watch. Taking the dish in her hand, Lyra struggled to get into its spot on the cabinet. As she did, Rem had heard the same noise she had unintentionally made, as the door to the kitchen's hinges creaked from her entering.
Lyra: Back already,huh? Did you forget something—
As Lyra had said those words, she had turned to look, and as Rem tried to progress further in the memory, all that remained was the blur of blue before her. Unable to see further, Rem noticed the sensation of a faint "flick" on the back of her head, exactly in the same spot she had chosen to strike Lyra to knock hier out.
Rem is so sorry that she needed to harm you, Lyra-chan. Rem WILL find out what burdens you.
A tang of guilt ran through Rem's consciousness as the scene before her faded to black, much as Lyra's probably did. Knowing she was at the tail end of Lyra's memories, Rem now knew where she was.
If this is the end of Lyra's memories, Rem needs to go backwards a few days.
Imagining herself grabbing a series of pages in a book, Rem "flipped" back a good distance, hoping to find memories of about a day or so before she arrived at the mansion. Arriving to a point, the brightness once again appeared before her consciousness and the memory began to be read. Seeing the ceiling of the guest room, Rem figured she had skipped to the morning of the first day at the mansion.
It looks like Rem didn't go back far enough, if Rem turns back more pages then—
Rem was about to flip back further in Lyra's memories when suddenly, through Lyra's eyes, she began to see a sequence of events that wasn't familiar to her. Quickly, Lyra bolted out of bed and immediately jammed a chair under the door handle in an effort to prevent it from being opened.
This is strange. Why is Lyra-chan acting this way? Was this BEFORE Rem had woken her up?
Lyra promptly went to wake Subaru, shaking him. Lyra warned him about a "great danger," and an "endless cycle of death."
