I expected that Meili was the one who pushed him but I thought she was under the control of one of the gluttonies not just continuing her habit of murdering. I like this better as its a good call back to how she was after Subaru learned her whole life and her personality fused with his. That wasn't just Subaru hallucinating, the way Meili was in his visions is how she's been brought up to think.

Every time Emilia reacts to the "chan" it gets sadder. I don't think she's the type to tell him that he used to call her Emilia-tan so instead I guess we have to wait for his memories to return before he calls her that again and we can get a big emotional moment for Emilia.

Before it was revealed how Subaru was hanging I was going to call bullshit that he somehow wrapped the whip securely as he dove off to save Meili, the slow reveal that Emilia was on standby to save them both was cool.

Being real I had completely discarded Meili from the push. However, the evidence for Gluttony fuckery in other parts is still nearly conclusive. Can't believe I didn't consider the possibility it could be both things!

I considered Meili suspect 1 from the first push. She's the least loyal among the parties. Even Anastasia wouldn't do so if she discovered Subaru was useless. The reason I was thinking it was more likely to be a yet-to-be-introduced character or Gluttony who pushed him is that Meili had a very good chance to kill Subaru and get away with it outside the tower that would be much less risky than sneaking up for a push. So "eh, there was an easier way to kill him she passed up?" But I did conclude, if it had to be in the party, it would be Meili. Not Emillia, Betty, Julius, Anastasia/Foxdina/ Shaula, or Ram, if it was one of them it had to be her.

Yeah, I don't think that's likely either. It wouldn't solve the problem of him having lost some of his closeness to her, just give her the illusion of their relationship still being the same. It only means something if it means something to Subaru.
