Creating The Soul World

Klaus moved closer until he was right in front of Miriam. He crouched down and sat beside her, touching her arm. 

He replayed the look he saw in Miriam's eyes for a few seconds, but at every turn he took, he arrived at the same conclusion... She knew she would die, and she didn't hesitate. That made Klaus look at her in a new light. 

"Why did you do it, knowing you would die?" Klaus went straight to the point, not leaving room for doubt. He knew she had seen something and acted on it, but he wanted to hear her motivation. 

Miriam looked at him and smiled. She may be old, but she still had her good looks. She waved her hand, and fractured mirrors appeared. On each display was a memory.

In the first memory, Klaus saw Miriam's childhood. She was an unruly child back then and would often sneak out to play outside despite the strict rules imposed by her father.
