Volume 2: A Most Fateful Meeting

Despite them echoing about hundreds of times over, YN's mind was unable to capture the surrealness of the sensation her words brought to him again from memory alone. With so much kindness and concern in her beautiful voice, he couldn't dream of being able to replicate that in his feeble head. —Even the clearest of memories would be insufficient at containing an accurate reproduction of it.

Because of it all, YN could only buckle out an unthoughtful response to the maid's inquiry.

YN: H-Heaven...

Delayed at first whilst she processed what he said, Rem ultimately opened her one visible wider in first response.

Quickly though, before YN could rationalize his own blunder of an answer, the maid smiled, and her round face blushed up with a hue of pink, which contrasted adorably against her blue hair and eyes, but matched fantastically with her bow and hair-clip.

A moment later, she finally leaned back from her bent over posture slightly, and folded her hands in front of herself, over her apron, still somewhat surprised by the answer she received.

Rem: Nee-sama, Guest-In-The-Corner-sama is awake.

Well, that's one thing to call me.

As his mind replayed the last two minutes of his life over and over again, YN's couldn't comprehend what it was about this girl that had let him become so tongue-tied a moment ago.

I don't know what it is, but I'm completely taken by her. She's so insanely cute.

Looking over, YN caught a glimpse of the other girl, —another maid, who remained over at Subaru's bedside. Striking an almost mirror image of Rem, the only exception that immediately stood out was their contrasting hair and eye colors. To say the least; YN could instantly tell these two were twins.

She's pretty cute too, but something about Rem is just so... Alluring? Intriguing?

In the meantime, Rem turned around to see her sister and Subaru having a disagreement about the morality of waking up so late in the morning, and only about a minute after that, Emilia also entered the room now. She greeted everyone inside, and in turn, the maids greeted her with the utmost formality, even more so than they had shown Subaru and YN.

Her hands on her hips though, after some more back and forth, Emilia in the most lenient stern voice, spoke to the maids.

Emilia: Would you two stop teasing them? I don't want them thinking I brought them back here just to be entertainment, and that I don't reeeeeeally appreciate all that they did for me back in the Capitol.

Immediately, the twins bowed in perfect synchronicity, and keeping that shtick up, their voices and words also paired up perfectly for their apology.

In a knee-jerk response, YN thought that because of him and Subaru's own disposition, that the maids could possibly be later reprimanded for something so innocent. To this, he quickly sat up in bed, and waved one his hands about.

YN: Oh-you-don't-need-to-apologise-for—!

Halting his hurried words, YN noticed that all the eyes in the room had suddenly fallen on him, and in conjunction with that, seemed to be silently questioning the reason for his sharp, unanticipated outburst.

That couldn't have been more horribly timed.

Turning his own gaze back and away, and then down to the floor itself, YN cleared his throat with a small cough, and let Emilia take back control of the conversation with a smile and a small clap of her hands.

Emilia: Good morning you two, how are you both feeling? Any pain? Subaru, can you stand? YN, did you get enough rest?

Looking to each other briefly to see if either had any real objections or concerns, given they didn't, Subaru spoke on his and YN's behalf.
