Garfiel launches a counter-attack against Satella with an army of Ryuzu clones, but it fails and he is killed. She then begins driving Subaru mad with her miasma, but he escapes by committing suicide. After respawning, Subaru worries for Emilia and is happy to see that she's still herself. Subaru later slips away to investigate Sanctuary and discovers an abandoned lab where he finds the original Ryuzu in suspended animation. He is then confronted by Ryuzu Meyer and she explains that the clones were created by Echidna as part of an immortality experiment. She also reveals that having met Echidna makes Subaru an "Apostle of Greed", giving him command over the clones. After this, Subaru has a heart-to-heart with Emilia and convinces her to depend on him. The next morning, Subaru leaves early for the mansion by himself but is stopped by Garfiel. However, having learned from Echidna that Return By Death's lives are infinite, he isn't scared and has him back off. Upon reaching the mansion, Subaru quickly has Frederica and Petra take Rem and evacuate before confronting Beatrice.
