How could an episode be so absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and cathartic, yet at the same time so heartrendingly painful? I kinda saw this coming, Subaru has stated numerous times before that Emilia is his endgame and that he's willing to jump through every fiery hoop in his way in order to be by her side, but it didn't stop the pain from the blow. At the same time, Rem absolutely takes the prize for best girl in this show and this episode just reinforces that; Rem's sheer level of love, dedication and patience is second to none and I absolutely adore her for that. The emotional side of me just wishes she could be the main heroine.
This episode reminded me a lot of a certain amazing arc in Muv-Luv Alternative. I love scenes like this where characters stand together dramatically and let go all of their emotions in the most powerful way, particularly when it's as well-done as this.
