Return by Death
Subaru's checkpoint: death rewinds time, memory stays.
- Source
- Satella, Witch of Envy
- Cost
- Full memory of every death
- Restriction
- Cannot be spoken of
Granted by the Witch of Envy, Return by Death resets the world to an unpredictable save point when Subaru dies. Only he retains the loop.
Speaking of it invites a crushing invisible grip, and the world grows subtly hostile toward anyone who learns.
Because the checkpoint moves, every loop is a gamble on how much progress will survive.
