Miki's point of view

"Who are you?" asked the girl right in front of me, she was in the same dress as the last time I saw her, 'but wait if she's here then I wasn't hallucinating back then?!' I was so busy thinking and had been staring at her the whole time until she finally spoke again.

"You shouldn't be here, more importantly, how?" she furrowed her brows and continued "How did you get here?" she looked very confused and I can see it in her face but instead of replying I was so caught up in her looks. "You're very pretty" I mumbled she was taken aback and slowly her face was red "Thankyou," the girl said as she looked down and fidgeting, 'cute but why was she thanking me again? hold up-'

"D-Did I s-said it out loud?" I stuttered 'NO WHY ARE YOU STUTTERING?!' she looked at me in the eyes and nodded slowly 'DEAR GOD KILL ME NOW' I was so embarrassed to the point that if someone would say to jump off the cliff with them I would do it, we were in awkward silence for a while until a bark interrupted the awkward atmosphere. The dog from earlier showed up right in front of us "Oh hey little Hachiko" I cooed and got on my knees to pet him which he barked as a response, "Hachiko?" a voice questioned "His name's Liam" the girl then walked to the dog and me. "Wait, it's a him? And he's got a name?" I was even surprised that the dog I labeled as a 'non-binary' is a male, come to think of it I could've just checked under the dog to know his gender Miki you dumbo.

"Well of course if nobody owns him why else would he have a scarf around his neck?" the girl simply stated until she realized something "Wait a minute, Liam your scarf where is it?" she asked the dog, the dog just tilted his head as an 'I don't know' look, "You lost it? But that was the fifth scarf that you lose" she sighed as she was frustrated at the dog. "Ah! A red scarf right?" I questioned the girl and she just nodded, I pulled out the scarf from my pocket and gave it to her "He didn't let me tie it up for him" I stated as I stood up since my feet were getting numb.

"He doesn't seem to love the scarf, why not use a collar?" I suggested and looked at her, "Well he does have one in fact it was made out of leather but it got cut off and I don't exactly know where to buy one" she stated with sadness in her eyes. "I can get it to fix for you" I stated with no hesitation "I know someone who can repair leather things" I continued as I looked at her she then looked at me with adoration in the eyes and grabbed my hand as her face were close to mine.

"Thank you! Thank you so much" She happily spoke and tighten her grip on my hands, I was flustered very very flustered, Liam then pawed my leg with a leather collar on his mouth I grabbed it traced the intricate design of it "Just use the scarf for a while and I'll fix this for you," I told the Liam which he responded with bark and with a swing of his tail. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it was already eleven thirty am just 30 minutes before the arrival of both ma and ren.

The girl seems to notice my action "Oh you must be meeting someone well you need to go now, its a long walk from here back to where you are from" she suggested and lead me to the front door "Liam will bring you there" she said while gesturing for Liam to come at us who was previously biting a toy. "I never knew your name" she uttered looking down at her feet while fidgeting her hands that were on her back "Can you perhaps tell me?" she looked at me in the eyes with great admiration.

"Miki" I held up my hand towards her for a handshake while smiling.

"Delphine" She smile brightly and connected her hand onto mine and shook our hands together.
