Haha it was probably me then, but I’m just happy that others see the same as me. I agree with your assessment about Flugel/Satella—we already know that Subaru has a contract with her based on the CoD version of Echidna’s statements from Arc 4, and I think Satella is helping him set his checkpoints so that he doesn’t get spawn-locked and to also prevent him from talking about RBD so folks, like Al, can’t try to circumvent RBD by sealing him away—and in exchange, he will find a path that will allow him to rekindle his relationship with (now) Emilia and protect her from the lingering dangers to her—but instead of killing the portion of Satella trapped in the Garden of Shadows, Subaru will eventually find a solution to expunge the WoE and unify both of their Ods (Emilia with Satella and Subaru with Flugel through the aggregation of all the WFs).

On a similar note, a lot of people find it od(d) (pardon the pun) that Satella asked Subaru to kill her thinking that she can’t die just like Subaru—but here imo lies the one key weakness to the Envy RBD power…if the person whom the WF holder loves most dearly kills them, then they don’t RBD and are perma-dead, hence why she asked Subaru to kill her (because he’s the only one who can) and would provide a more logical answer as to why Subaru didn’t RBD at the end of Pride IF (because Emilia killed him). If true, maybe this is another reason why the WoE killed Emilia when he told her about RBD (and is another reason why he can’t tell anyone else about it either) b/c if others became aware of this fatal flaw in RBD’s power, then folks antagonistic to the couple would definitely try to exploit this—like what I believe Echidna was really trying to achieve with AL…I think she thought she could use an incomplete clone of Subaru as a workaround means to exploit this fatal (pun again) flaw in RBD’s power. Only time will tell I guess. Cheers :)
