"I… I'm Rem… The L. Mathers' head maid… and Natsuki Subaru's caretaker. I can see the confusion as to who I may be… I'm sorry if I disturbed this meeting for all of you."
As Ram finally fell into silence and managed to step back from her sister, Rem took the chance to introduce herself to the audience in the room with an elegant bow.
"Subaru's… caretaker?" Emilia whispered and glanced at the sleeping face of the young man beside her in worry. The half-elf's heart clenched painfully once she realized what Rem's awakening brought upon her and Subaru's relationship. The memories of the boy gazing lovingly and softly at Rem's sleeping face every night before he went to bed played inside of Emilia's mind.
"Subaru… loves Rem too." Emilia whispered while biting her lip in uncertainty. She could recall having a conversation about Subaru's heart and who got to own it had Emilia ever decided to accept him as her beloved. She was always warned by him that a piece of his heart always belonged to the sleeping blue-haired beauty.
Emilia found the need to understand what 'love' truly is as something to be taken as slowly as possible. She wanted to give her best answer to this wonderful boy after all, but she was always sure of one thing… She truly believed that Subaru was the one made for her, the one she wanted to love.
But now this girl she couldn't even remember was finally awake. The shameful feeling of jealousy overwhelmed what she should've been feeling at the moment. Emilia should be jumping in joy with Ram for Rem's curse has been lifted and that an innocent person was able to live free once more.
But all Emilia could think about was how much time Subaru spent by the girl's bedside every night. Her only perception of this Rem was that of someone coming to take Subaru's attention and affection away.
She couldn't even remember if this maid was her friend or not.
The blue-haired girl rose her head up and met someone she wasn't expecting with wide eyes.
"Pardon me… Do I know you?" Crusch questioned sternly as she noticed the newcomer's shocked gaze falling on her.
"Um… Pardon me, Crusch-sama. I didn't mean to gape like that… But the reason for my shock is… " Rem looked reluctant to speak of the last few moments she had been awake and how the duchess infront of her was bleeding on the road behind her during the nightmarish attack.
Crusch's eyes widened in understanding. Recalling who this girl was from a few memories left after her amnesiac self. Remembering that she hosted the girl inside of her manor for treatment because she displayed the same symptoms of Gluttony's curse.
"You were present during th- ACK!"
[CLICK!]
Before Crusch could continue her sentence, a loud clicking sound filled the entire theater. The effects quickly making everyone hold their heads in agony for a moment, before disappearing as soon as it came.
"Tha hell was that?!" Garfiel shouted in fury, not liking his brain being pinched one bit. Looking around the room with his fists clenched, ready to bounce on the first suspect he sees, the boy's emerald eyes were drawn towards the stunned looking maid. He didn't know why… but something was drawing him to gaze at her… slowly… He could feel something very far away trickling into his mind… As if he was feeling the sensation of some liquid being poured all over his head… Like a bath only he got to experience while fully in his clothes.
Softly…
He opened his eyes… Garfiel's jaw fell…
"H-Holy crap! Rem!" The blonde tigerboy shouted as his eyes filled up with shocked tears.
Emilia and Crusch slowly rose their heads up to look back at the extremely confused maid. Their eyes filling up with horrified understanding.
Roswaal slowly smiled as both of his eyes filled up with real happiness for a second.
Everyone sitting in the room had experienced the same thing. The shower of invisible liquid.
The return of Rem's existence has been finalized. Their minds quickly played every memory, every blank, every empty piece filled up with the blue-haired Oni maid's correct placement within them.
Garfiel struggled to stay standing as he remembered all of the times he and the blue-haired maid interacted through her visits to the Sanctuary. The shaking boy could only stare at her in disbelief before moving toward her.
Once Rem noticed him walking towards her, her eyes widened in shocked recognition. Unable to believe that the stubborn tiger finally left his cage.
"Garfiel-kun?! You left the Sanctuary?!"
The tigerboy nodded his head and looked at the maid with a somber look. "Rem…" The boy gritted his teeth in frustration, unable to look her in the eyes.
Rem waited patiently with rapid bewilderment as this turn of events never would've crossed her imagination.
"I'm sorry… I forgot about ya … All of us forgot who ya wer'."
The maid's eyes widened in rapid confusion. Slowly, Rem turned to her still crying sister with a pleading look.
Ram slowly wiped her tear streams and regained a bit of calm as she explained through a hoarse voice.
"You've been attacked by the Gluttony Archbishop before you and Crusch-sama's wounded could reach the capitol. That bastard managed to best you and Lady Karsten in battle."
Rem nodded her head and looked back at the duchess, she was staring at Rem with an expression akin to gratitude and pity mixed into one.
The maid gave her a nod and turned back towards her sister. "Yes, nee-sama. That's correct. Gluttony attacked with an ally and managed to wound lady Crusch into unconsciousness. I did the best I could to force her bleeding to stop and moved to protect her body from those monsters." Rem scowled deeply as she remembered the sight of the two disgusting cultists.
Her sister had her eyes narrowed to glare after Rem admitted that she was facing off powerful enemies on her own but she continued to explain.
