Talk:Ram/Relationships/@comment-30035163-20170509185620

The information on this page isn't entirely accurate. I actually read the Store Special where Ram and Aldebaran talk while Emilia is lost in the capital, and he shows no hostility. However, Ram is a bit confused as to how he knew her name.

After reading the scenes of the WN, it's pretty clear Al's carefree attitude actually first drops when Rem tells him she isn't Ram, after he assumed she was, so he couldn't have been surprised by Ram being alive. He already thought she was alive and was just fine with it.

Given that it's specifically noted that his gaze seems to noticeably linger on Rem when both she and Subaru show up at Priscilla's place, it seems like it was more that he was in denial that Rem wasn't Ram and was hoping that he just got a few details mixed up.

Maybe that's related to Rem's ability to smell miasma, which is apparently unique among Oni. She's definitely clearly described as sniffing at something before she warns Subaru to be extra careful around Al.
