They are just somewhere else, just like Rem's memories But doesn't that library only contain the memories of dead people? I dunno how that relates to ones soul being sucked into the book if they keep reading though. Does it mean the reader dives into the book Harry Potter style? Does the Subaru that goes into the book have a chance to make it back out/return to the body (maybe doing some trials within dream like some Inception shit)? Too many questions, Tappei hurry the hell up.

There are some things we know for sure though. The memories that were taken from Subaru only relate to the events in the parallel world, not his original world. I think this relates to this concept of the 'World Memory', the thing that catalogues and dictates all the events within this parallel world, the thing that the Gospel books both rely on to make user-specific predictions of (possibile) future events. The 'World Memory' in repect to Subaru would only consider his memories created in this parallel world.

We also sort of know that it is possible to 'edit' the World Memory, because Pandora has the ability to do so. This is also probably what Return by Death is all about - it can rewrite reality in such a way that Subaru can redo his actions and 'save the data'/memories of the previous reality. They all defy the rules of Od Laguna, which would explain why we see these powers in the hands of Satella/Witch of Envy and the Witch Cult -> The ones who engage in perverse magic etc.

All of this raises a whole discussion involving memories and reality. Only Tappei can settle this speculation I guess
