Mirai loved Sarona. She was so interesting and kind. There was a hint about how she really was that Mirai could tell, but felt like Mirai could relate to her well enough. She would have loved to learn more about her, but she really appreciated Sarona looking out for her when she had grown so used to not really having anyone who cared about her.
It was a nice change to what she was used to. Seeing people who legit cared about her was heart warming and rare to her. She'd seen it more often at Deer but definitely a change to what she was used to.
