Return by Dissection

Subaru

Wait—don't—I've been through this before—

Ayaki

Subject consciousness restored. Beginning anomaly extraction protocol.

Subaru

No no no, not again—not the dissection—not the screaming—

Ayaki

Self-harm response? Fascinating. The curse protects itself.

Subaru

Can't... let you... see her...

Ayaki

Her? There's another entity?

Subaru

Satella... I'm sorry... I tried...

Ayaki

Drones—containment breach imminent. Prepare stasis field.

Subaru

Third time's the charm... right?

Kazuma

Uh, hey, sorry to interrupt your weird alien autopsy thing—

Ayaki

This area is restricted. How did you bypass security?

Kazuma

The door was open! Also, pretty sure that guy's dying?

Ayaki

Life signs... stable? Temporal signature suggests... reset?

Kazuma

Reset? What is he, some kind of save point?

Ayaki

The curse isn't just protection—it's recursion. He's done this before.

Subaru

H-hey... you're new. Don't suppose you know a way off this ship?

Kazuma

Actually, I was hoping you knew. Also, your friend's really intense about cutting people open.

Ayaki

Gentlemen. One of you is cursed with recursive death. The other has no special abilities whatsoever. This should be... educational.
