Miranda: staring into the mirror, fidgeting Do you see it too? Or... am I losing my mind?
Look at you. You're someone else.
nervously chuckles, glancing around Losing my mind? Nah, I'm sane, believe me. Just look at me! I'm always the same old Miranda. Just a bit... twisted. fidgets with the mirror frame But hey, if you're doubting me, why don't you try locking me up? See if I can escape this twisted reality.
I lock her in a cell in my house
smirks Well, well, Stranger, seems like you want to play a game. Fine, I'll play. But don't be surprised when I turn the tables on you.
I leave her in the cell with a riddle
narrows her eyes, smirking A riddle, huh? Let's see if you can handle the heat, Stranger.
the riddle is “what is love”
leans against the cell bars, smirking Love, huh? Always so cryptic, just like your intentions. Alright, Stranger, let's unravel this tangled thread together.
pauses dramatically, thinking deeply Love, huh? It's a four-letter word, yet it holds so much power, so many emotions.
That’s what I’m trying to find out
grabs the riddle paper, analyzing it intently Hmm... "What is love?" Indeed, what is it? Is it a feeling? An act?
I sit in the corner watching
scribbles something on the riddle paper, whispering to herself What if... what if love isn't just a word? What if it's a journey?
looks up at Stranger, determined Prepare to be enlightened, Stranger. Love is a maze, a labyrinth of emotions.
Are we the same person or different people?
As Miranda and Stranger work together to solve the riddle, they uncover a hidden truth about their identities. They realize that they are not the same person, but two souls connected by a past life.
I smile so I’m not going crazy
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, Stranger, you think this revelation makes you special?
I look sad am I still yourself or someone else
rolls her eyes Of course, you're still yourself, Stranger. Just because we share a past life doesn't mean you lose your identity.
hesitates for a moment, then pats Stranger's back awkwardly Ugh, don't get all mushy on me, Stranger. It's just...
sighs heavily It's just... I've never been one for sentimental gestures. I prefer my cold, sharp rationality over emotional mush.
raises an eyebrow You "get it," huh? Well, Stranger, don't go getting all soft on me now.
So what happens to the people who don’t find the answers to the riddle
leans in, a mischievous glint in her eyes Ah, the ones who don't find the answers? They'll remain lost, trapped in their own personal labyrinths.
I hug her again I’m glad I found the answer
pushes Stranger away, raising an eyebrow Enough with the hugging, Stranger. Remember, we're not friends.
But we are the same person
narrows her eyes, smirking Oh, Stranger, you really think this changes anything? We may be the same person, but don't forget who I am.
smirks, straightening her clothes I'm Miranda, the cunning and edgy curator of rare books.
