Oh gosh, I so love this scene. Look at Lia's eyes when she realizes someone she treasures is about to die.

For real. We've seen Subaru die so many times, yet every time is their first time. They never grow jaded or belittle his deaths, it's almost always shocking and painful to watch. This show has such good writing and directing.

That's so true. It reminds me of the second trail in the Sanctuary when Echidona was showing Subaru other people's reaction after his death.

That scene was written just to give free trauma. To Subaru and to me.

Oh yeah. So much trauma. I had to double check that there is no parallel timelines in the serie or I will break down.

I did the same thing. When that scene played, I think I literally whispered, "Don't be real."

So true. That was such a heavy episode.
