That still doesn't prove your point. Emilia and Felt simply happened to pass by at the time, if Subaru hadn't passed out during loop 3 he probably wouldn't have encountered her at all

Actually, It is fact that Subaru and Emilia meeting was something that was predestined. Remember, Roswall had been taking action from a gospel that, at the point it was revealed to Subaru, was (approximately) 200 years old. The realization that ALL of Roswaal's actions had been guided by the gospel and that Subaru was in that gospel (a gospel that was COMPLETE..no new info later on) should make it obvious that their meeting was predetermined. I mean the whole reason Roswaal supported Emilia, who he thought was incompetent, was because of the actions he knew Subaru would take for her.

not to mention that moment when Roswaal asked Subaru "do you remember?" and is then disappointed in his response.

hinting, in my opinion, that he knew Subaru before the events as we see them happen and that maybe that wasnt the actual time subaru had first appeared in that world. I also think that based on things said by the witches and several others through the series. but that's a whole other story.
