Breaking the 'That Person' Mandate

DIALOGUE· Satomi Arai

日本語 (ORIGINAL)

Satomi Arai: 『その人』を待ち続けた400年の孤独を終わらせるのが、まさか『お前が待っている運命の相手じゃないが、俺を選べ』という強引なプロポーズのような言葉だとは思いませんでした。

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

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.'

DIALOGUE· Tappei Nagatsuki

日本語 (ORIGINAL)

Tappei Nagatsuki: ベアトリスを救うために『俺がその人になってやる』と言ってしまっては、彼女の400年の意味を嘘で上書きすることになります。スバルは『俺はその人じゃない。でもこれからの明日を一緒に生きてほしい』と正直にぶつかるからこそ、彼女の心を動かすことができたのです。

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

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.
