The magical city Novel

Kathy notices Harper's "Beginners - 1" pin and questions why someone so strong would be placed in the beginner section. When she confronts him about following her, Harper denies stalking her, though his behavior suggests otherwise. Despite her dismissals, he continues to shadow her movements, reasoning that he's simply walking alongside her. Kathy notes the peculiarities of Harper's choices: his wealthy family could easily provide transportation, yet he takes the bus like everyone else. More significantly, he initially had no intention of studying at MEA but inexplicably changed his mind. His presence and actions reveal hidden depths. When Harper finally asks if she has forgiven him for his past wrongdoing, Kathy clarifies an important distinction: while she has forgiven him long ago, forgetting is separate from forgiveness. She emphasizes that he must always carry the memory of what he did. After hearing this truth, Harper leaves and never returns.
