The Maiden's Gospel.Respawning back in the graveyard, Subaru once again comforts the crying Emilia, and proposes the idea of completing the other trials himself. This is met with disgust from Garfiel, in sharp contrast to the previous timeline, and disappointment from Emilia, who thinks he doesn't trust her. Subaru confides in Roswaal to plan to head back to the mansion early to check in with Frederica; he volunteers Ram to join him. On the road, Ram starts to have vague memories about past events, leading Subaru to tell her about Rem. At the mansion, Subaru reunites with Petra and "re-introduces" Ram to Rem. He, soon followed by Ram, try to pry information out of Frederica about why she gave them the teleporting stone, but is unable to reveal anything due to her oath. Elsa suddenly appears, holding Petra hostage, leaving the three to jump in to save her and make their escape. Ram tries to leave, infuriating Subaru at not even attempting to save Rem or Beatrice, but he's backed up by Frederica and Petra who convince her to stay and save them. Frederica transforms into a beast to fight Elsa, while the others go to rescue Rem, only to be attacked by a surprise Mabeast. Eventually, everyone except Subaru is killed, when he's confronted by Elsa while trying to find Rem. He tries to get her to say who sent her, but she only gives vague hints. As she's about to kill him, he jumps into Rem's room to protect her, only to end up in Beatrice's instead, reacting in sheer terror.
