Remember, Frederica was going to sacrifice herself to give Petra time to escape in the last episode. That is what she meant by being prepared to die last time.
In one of the previous loops, Betty did mention that the book has been blank for many years. She keeps it, kinda desperately hoping that the book will tell her who 'that person' is ('that person' is who she promised echidna to wait for, we've learned that echidna meant for Betty to decide, but Betty thought that Echidna/the book was gonna tell her).
5:59 “What does she mean ‘last time’? Did she remember what happened in the last timeline?” I think this was a poor translation. “Last time” is “zenkai” 前回, but Frederica said, “saki” 先 (before/earlier/ahead). The full sentence she said was, “Datte, watashi, saki wa shinu kakugo deshitamono” 「だって、私、先は死ぬ覚悟でしたもの」which I would have translated as “Because, I was prepared to die earlier.” Before Garf showed up, she was prepared to put her life on the line, but now that she has been reunited with her little brother, she wants to live on to spend more time with him, and also, now that he’s here, they have more firepower.
I think Betty has been following the book, but as a technicality. She followed it until it went blank, and now she doesn't do much besides sit in the library all day. Doing nothing. Just as The Magic Conch Shell demanded I think she'd assume the only thing left for her to do was to wait for her "somebody" to show up
From the way Roswaal has been using his own book, I think rather than predict the future, it shows you the steps to reach your goal (otherwise Subaru wouldn't be able to deviate from what's written in the book, its content should just adjust after each reset). Betty has lost hope and no longer has a goal, so her book became blank.
I do think it's a mix of bitterness, sadness, and jealousy on Echidna's part. She knows if she was in Emilia's shoes, she probably would not be able to let go. Maybe she has a past/present that she can't let go of. So she's sad because she knows her weakness and bitter that this person she despises can (and because Emilia can, she despises her for it in a twisted hate loop). Betty's book being blank recently means she was lying when she said in a previous loop that everything thing she said, did, and felt towards Subaru was just following the book. She was just saving face and lying to herself as much as lying to Subaru. All those moments were genuinely, ESPECIALLY when she made a contract with him in the Mansion arc where she even left the mansion.
I think Ange has close to the right of it re: Echidna's reaction. But I think this is the full of it - both Echidna and Emilia had a tragedy in their past that took everything from them, all their dreams and loved ones and homes. Emilia has had the chance to find new people and goals and things to care about, and so even if given a chance to go back to how things might have been she refuses. But Echidna never got that chance. She died. And so now she's, well, consumed by Envy.
11:42 Non spoiler info: Tappei stated Echidna was a virgin. So not exactly any way for her to be a parent. And he also stated that Emilia is one of the few people she genuinely hates
anime only watcher: From what tappei said, red herring maybe? or maybe virgin birth? It's a fantasy world after all. I do understand the leading theory is Emila's mom is one of the other witches, which I would agree.
Nah I think it must be something deeper - either Emilia being Satella and having screwed Echidna over, or Emilia’s father being a dude Echidna simped for, or something (haven’t read the books, book readers please resist the urge to spoil, even if it’s just to say it hasn’t been revealed in books yet)
Not everything is about subaru, her hatred isn’t as petty as that, There’s obviously something deeper going on. And echidna doesn’t want to be “wanted” by subaru, she’s in awe of the ability he has and the potential she sees in it. if she was actually in love with him, she wouldn’t have treated him the way she did in the greed if route. the feelings she holds for him are just dark and twisted
2:50 The entire book is blank and it's always been blank. That hurts when you realize it. Boo, Echidna! 4:20 After seeing the trailer for s3, I'm glad Subaru didn't take the easy way out and lie to Betty.
it hasn’t always been blank, it turned out like that because beatrice did nothing but stay in the forbidden library so there was no future for it to write

And it is important to note this happened in THIS loop and not a past timeline. 😊

They keep talking mid episodes so they always missing important details and then getting confused 🤷

Congrats for 200k subs!!🎉
Echidna is just jealous lol Emilia succeed in things she couldnt for example, wanted by Subaru

@@qwirkt Don't worry so much about spoilers... I think the story is far from done, most of the things you read online are theories.
