41 The Contract – III

Seeing her pointing toward him, Haru asked, "Why am I special to you? What do you want from someone like me?"

He couldn't grasp her final goal, even with her explanations. Furthermore, the lingering question was why she continued to pretend to be Miami instead of just revealing her true identity. 

Was it because she was really Miami, alive against all odds?

Or was it a ploy to manipulate his emotions for her advantage? 

The mystery behind her continued to puzzle him the more she spoke. 

'Suppose what she said about being restrained by the rule and falling into slumber is true; then she shouldn't know about my interactions with Akio... However, she does which leads to only one possibility that... she can definitely read my memories. This would also explain how she knows more about me than even Miami would.' Haru clenched his fists as he thought, realizing that she might be pretending to be Miami, using his memories to her advantage.
