Arc 4

Beatrice's 400-Year Vigil and 'Choose Me' Climax

### Breaking the 'That Person' Mandate Satomi Arai: I never anticipated that the conclusion to 400 years of waiting for 'That Person' would be brought about by such an obstinate declaration: 'I'm not the fated person you've been waiting for, but choose me anyway.' Tappei Nagatsuki: If Subaru had said 'I will become That Person' to save her, he would have overwritten the meaning of her 400 years with a falsehood. It was precisely because Subaru confronted her honestly—'I am not That Person. But I want you to live tomorrow together with me'—that he was able to reach her heart.

Arc 4

The philosophy of Echidna's greed vs Subaru's stubbornness

### Regarding the contrast between Echidna and Subaru in Arc 4 Echidna's proposed contract was logically the most efficient solution with the minimal statistical casualties. However, it was predicated on completely grinding down Subaru's soul. Subaru refusing her hand was solely because he chose 'foolish stubbornness that refuses to accept anyone's sacrifice' over cold efficiency.
