I'm pretty sure it's been hinted that she inherited the previous Mai's romantic love, but isn't aware of it. Though it's been a while since I read that and maybe I misunderstoodare we closing to the Ch.1 one where Mai thought she failed to change the plot where Kurobe locked her up but it was (most likely) because he want to monopolized her instead of using her corpse as crystaillze for death game in main plot.
I guess Kurobe might try to make "death game" but not because his boredom(manga plot). but to fake their death(Mai and kurobe) for them to eloped tgt? or to negotilate/court with her somehow ?
still don't know how it's gonna be since Mai loves kurobe to certain extend(bro&sis iirc? I don't rmb this Mai loves kurobe romantically, not sure tho since it has been 6 months since last chapter) but I pretty sure it's not the same level as his "love"
