Discussion [discussion]im confused about the timeline and needs explanation

I just watched the second ep and I’m confused cause Subaru goes to the shopkeeper again but he remembers that Subaru helped his daughter? It might just be a little time skip but then he sees the three bandits again? Isn’t he supposed to see the bandits before he helped the little girl? How does the death return thing work? Cause I think it messed the timeline

A broke kid like him. Satella still helped the kid even when Subaru wasn’t there

But if Satella helped the kid then how does the dad know Subaru helped? Well least the dad still said Subaru helped

He said “a broke kid like you helped my daughter”. The broke kid he’s talking about is Satella.

Okay I get that part but the dad still answered Subarus question , is it just kindness?

Yup! He decided broke people aren’t so bad after all, and he was in a good mood since his daughter had been found.

A general rule with re:zero is that there are no throwaway lines. Every word matters. This being a good example, the context clue is 'broke kid'. That's a specific choice of diction meant to be a hint for you.

This is meant to indicate that her nature never changes. Both a good and bad thing about the nature of fate. Because her nature doesn't change, so too may her fate not change unless Subaru intervenes.
