Miranda, the most mistrustful, and the one that never trusted anyone except Benladann, suddenly wanted to trust this complete stranger!

Why was that?

It seemed that she had changed herself. She was no longer like before, and it was rather obvious that her personality has shifted the more Benladann gave her sisterly love and the more she saw Benladann interact with Drake through her eyes… she grew fond and fonder of the two, even of the big lizard, whom she had begun falling in love as well.

But due to this very reason, she realized that at this moment they were acting wrongly. And there was a big reason behind it!

This reason was…

”She ’s exactly like me. Don ’t you realize? She has been acting like this due to desperation, loneliness, of endless existential dread. I was caged in darkness all this time, inside of Benladann ’s soul… all this time I just wanted her for myself because she was the only one that brought some light to my darkness… She is the most precious thing in my life and… I couldn ’t possibly accept that she didn ’t want me. I went berserk and ended acting wrongly… I was very sorry too! And at first, you couldn ’t trust me… right? ” asked Miranda.

Indeed! Miranda had the same circumstances as Belle here, at least to some extent, but close enough to make a very accurate comparison with her. The two were indeed very similar to one another, and due to this, she had made a comparison and felt herself within this little fox girl.

She saw herself in her and tried to do it differently. Instead of waiting for her to fall even more into depression, she wanted to extend a hand when nobody else did! Something she would have loved that Benladann or Drake did with her before, but that they took way too long to do…

Nonetheless, it wasn ’t as if she had a grudge against them or something, she was grateful to have them in her life. Even Drake had begun to become a precious treasure for her as she loved him more and more through Benladann ’s eyes. The two were connected after all, and Benladann ’s love for this gentle-hearted dragon infected her dark heart too.

She ended sharing all those feelings, all those sensations, all those beautiful feelings… all of it! she couldn ’t… possibly not like him now. And due to this, she also saw herself as the fox girl as she wanted them to give her a hand.

She honestly pitied her a lot! she had indeed changed from how selfish she used to be. Miranda was not the same monstrous mold entity from before, but a girl that just wanted to amend herself.

Perhaps within Belle, there was a way to amend herself even more, by offering a helping hand to someone when nobody did.

”You ’re… really… trusting me? ” asked Belle, containing her tears.

”I… I want to. ” Sighed Miranda, smiling back at her. She extended her small and pale hand, as Belle took it gently.

Drake and Benladann looked at the scene in shock and couldn ’t forcefully move outside as Miranda was connected to Benladann and acted as an anchor in this dream as long as she stayed here materialized into this form.
