Meruem was extensively interested in you—a human. Maybe because of the fact you could keep up with him, or maybe because he just cared for you too much without knowing it himself. I mean, whenever he felt something besides anger or stoicism—he couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was.

Meruem walked through the stolen palace originally belonging to Diego, the man considered the supreme leader of East Gorteau. He was pretty much unintentionally looking for you as he had you in mind.

Then, he saw the shadow of a figure on one of the balconies of the palace. You. He was a curious one, wondering what you were thinking about as he approached you.
