Re:Zero Lost in Memories
Prisoner Number 459: Subaru Natsuki
 * -|Story=

Subaru, Emilia, and Rem visited the capitol to watch a performance from a famous theater. The three of them, including Puck, expressed themselves on the performance and the three of them intend to stay the inn for the night. They went to their rooms, but Subaru quickly got out of his room to think about how should he spend the night with Emilia. While he was thinking, a guard came up to him and wants to talk to him about the Royal Election. They walked to the alley and have their private conversation. Before they could continue, someone screamed for help. Subaru tells the guard to call for help while he heads towards the source. He saw Otto, frightened, and in front of them, he saw a dead body. Subaru takes out the knife from the corpse, until both Subaru and Otto were captured and arrested by the guards for under the suspicion of murder. Subaru questions happened to the guard that was looking for help, but the other guard doesn't understand what he was talking about. Subaru and Otto tried to explain what happened, but the guards wouldn't listen and they were given prisoner garb, brown shoes, and a collar, and was sent to Gilmour Prison. The is filled with horrible criminals, most of them were demi-humans, and throws insults towards the two of them. They were thrown into their cell when suddenly, instead of Otto joining Subaru in the same cell, a prisoner called "Prisoner 231" joins the cell with him. Subaru tries to introduce himself, but Prisoner 231 doesn't want to exchange names and he prefers to call him as "231". They look at their daily listings: a bath every three days and soap provided every 2 months. Suddenly, they heard a bell tolled, meaning it's time for work.

A day had passed and they head to the cafeteria. A prisoner tries to take Subaru's food, but he decides to fight back. But before he could, 231 tells them to silence while he's eating and the prisoner calls him "big brother". 231 punches him as he tells him that he has to follow the rules of the prison. Before he could hit Subaru again, someone interjected the fight. Surprisingly, even unaware to Subaru and Otto, Ricardo is in the prison as well. He was surprised that Subaru is in the same prison with him and 231 calls him a "newcomer that joined yesterday", the same day as Subaru and Otto joined. Ricardo breaks up the fight and 231 leaves them. After he left, to yet another surprise, Hetaro and Tivey are in with Ricardo as well. Otto and Subaru explained what happened. Tivey assumes that the guard was a part of a criminal gang. Subaru is worried that he left Emilia without warning, but at least relieved that he has people he knows in this prison. He asked Ricardo why he's here in the first place. Ricardo couldn't remember what happened as he explained he was too drunk too remember. Hetaro says that Mimi was in a shop with Anastasia, so Tivey acts as her replacement. They hoped that either Anastasia or Roswaal would free them, but for now, they have to survive.

After reunited with Ricardo, Tivey, and Hetaro, both Emilia and Rem visited Subaru. They encourage him with Emilia drawing Subaru and Rem making sweets for him. Emilia explained that Roswaal and Ram notified the situation and figuring out to free him would take some time. Emilia asked if after Subaru gets out, where would he want to go. And Subaru replied that he wants to make her a large place. Days later, Rem visits him. Rem brought out a picture book that she'll like to go to the beach once he's free. The bell tolls, marking the end of visiting hours. Rem was disappointed that she didn't get much time she needed, but Subaru said to her that he'll survive no matter the cost. It had been six days since they were sent to prison. Ricardo was worried that brought the Pearlbatons along with him and he would've broken out of prison if it weren't for the collars. Subaru asked about the collars and the Pearlbatons explained that the collars have some sort of mechanism that the collars will shock the person who wears them if they go out of line. It had been a whole week since Subaru was sent to prison. Subaru couldn't bare himself to stay any longer. 231 tells him to be quiet and he must follow the rules that he was told. Subaru asked what if he doesn't want to and 231 punches him hard. This caused them to make so much noise that the guard was called and shocks them. Then, he was thrown into a small and cramped room the Punishment Cell. A couple of hours had passed and he heard someone scream. Then, the collar shocks him intensely. He realizes that someone was watching him as he was torturing him. The collar continues to shock him over and over, until suddenly...Subaru was killed in the Punishment Cell.

After being killed by the guard, he loops back to the 4th day to where Emilia and Rem visit him. Subaru suddenly became paranoid when his Return by Death spawned him to this point. He tries to figure out who was the person that was watching him and killed him, but he couldn't recall anyone who had a grudge on him. Now that Return by Death was activated, his work from his previous loop reset. After he finished his work, he relies on either Otto or Ricardo to figure out a plan. After meeting with them, he went to his cell with 231. He asks how did he get sent to prison in the first place, but 231 didn't like to talk about it and he's just 231, no more and no less. After having a conversation with 231, Subaru didn't think that it was him that killed him. He begins to wonder who killed him if it wasn't 231.

Lost in Memories
 * -|Quest=

Subaru Natsuki suddenly wakes up in the middle of the forest in the night. He didn't know how he did end up here on his own and he doesn't know how to get out. He searched around the forest for finding a way to get out until, he heard a noise on the other side of the bushes. He crosses over to see if there was anyone that can help him. But instead, it was a monster that is covered with black bones with green flame surrounding it. Before the monster could even kill him, he was saved by a mysterious woman with green hair who calls herself as Shion. Both of them fought the monster and survived. After the battle, Shion asks him why did he go to the forest, but he doesn't know how he ended up--or more to simply put, he doesn't remember his past history in this world. Shion transports to an otherworldly subspace called "Remembrance Village", where all of Subaru's memories when he transported into another world are stored within his subconscious. Shion decides to help him to regain the lost memories that were stolen from him.

They started in the Capitol of Lugnica, the place where Subaru first transported to another world and began his search to find any clues. They went to the alleyway and when suddenly, the illusions of the three thugs appear in front of them. But instead of throwing banters or anything they have to say, they raised their weapons and prepares for battle. Both Subaru and Shion survived the fight, but the three thugs got back up and prepare for the next attack. But before they can, a hooded figure appears and destroys the illusions. Subaru couldn't understand who or why did he saved them, but they continue their adventures. They traveled to the slums to find any memories of his past. But suddenly, an illusion of Rom appears and attacks them. They defeated the illusion of Rom, but the illusion was later destroyed when the hooded figure appears.

They set out to the streets of the capitol to find any more of Subaru's memories when suddenly, the same monster from the forest appeared in the city. Shion calls the spirit "Oblivion", an evil spirit that takes people's memories. They dragged the monster to the alley and both of them, including the hooded figure, defeated the Oblivion. As they defeated it, they questioned who is the mastermind behind Subaru's forgotten memories. After witnessing his time against Elsa and revealing Emilia's name, Subaru's bits of memories have turned to him. Time had passed and it's ready night. Shion suggested that they should find a place to stay for the night. They both split up to find a place where that can stay in. As he thought back to what Shion said, he encountered a man with a mask who calls himself as Alcor as he was responsible for stealing Subaru's memories. Shion arrives and helps him attempt to defeat Alcor, but knowing how powerful he is, they retreated from the fight. Subaru wonders to himself just who is under the mask.

Subaru and Shion arrived at the Mathers Manor where they try to find Subaru's memories after the fight with Elsa. Subaru recalled that the first time they met, she somehow knows his name. He asked Shion on how did he know him, but they were interrupted by Oblivions. They searched around the manor to find anything that Subaru can recollect, but still couldn't remember anything. He tries to ask Shion who she is, but she decides to avoid that question and head to the next room when an Oblivion was waiting for them in the next room. After they had defeated the Oblivion, Subaru quickly ran out of the manor to see if he finally remembered something, but Shion quickly stopped him to do anything rash. Subaru calmed down a bit and they both have tea together. Shion explained that she hadn't had tea with someone before in a long time and hadn't had friends, which causes her to cry as Subaru complimented that her tea was delicious.

After defeating the Oblivions, Subaru remembered the location where he had jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. He told Shion that he didn't have a plan after that and he told her that he was honestly scared if he had forgotten everything. But thanks to Shion's tea, he feels more relaxed. He asked what if he were to die in the world. She gave him a serious answer that if he were to die in the phantom world, his soul would die and his real body will become a shell in the real world. Then, Shion asked if he remembered how he first met her, but Subaru still couldn't recall. They both head to the village as Shion playfully watches the children of Irlam playing. He asked if all elves loved the forest, and she replied that there are elf settlements, but it all looked too familiar for her. Suddenly, Shion felt something was amiss. They found another Oblivion. But before they were about to go in for an ambush, Subaru accidentally stepped on a branch, causing it to run away. Before they could chase it, Alcor appears and claims that the memories that Subaru was gathering weren't his memories from the beginning, but Shion interrupts him before he could say any further. They defeat both Alcor and the hooded figure and both of them fled from the battle.

While Subaru begins to search for his memories, he realizes that he stumbles in a prison. He couldn't recall as to why or even how he would even remember an event like this. But even so, he still needs to collect his memories. Subaru asks Shion if she wants to take a break, but she said that she is fine and he doesn't have to worry about her. Then she recalled a sad memory that she had a hard time explaining it, but Subaru didn't bother pushing it further on that.
