199 Alinea & Ara

"Because while you are Alinea, you are also Suzuki Ara…"

Huh?

Ara thought she already had been confused enough, but she was wrong.

She's Alinea but at the same time Suzuki Ara? What did that even mean?

She was totally thankful that Homura Ryuu looked very patient with her. She was so lost she didn't know how to process information anymore. At times like this, she totally doubted her intellect. She was supposed to be a smart person but her brain was failing her.

Then again, she remembered her brother. Aki said book smart didn't mean smart.

For the first time in her life, Ara felt grateful for being told she was stupid. It wouldn't be as shameful as it would have been if Aki didn't tell her that. Still, she wanted to know the answer.

She needed to know the answer.

"I am Alinea but also Ara?"

Her husband nodded. "That's right. You are Alinea but at the same time Suzuki Ara."
