Seraphina watched the scene unfold from the sidelines. She was tired.
Her legs trembled and her lungs burned but she kept healing Cedric and Bearlo.
She had been running after Rael for what felt like forever even as her body screamed for rest. But he was the only hope she had left.
She was tired of living like a weak burden… Tired of being the one everyone needed to protect. And only now, cornered and desperate, did she finally understand.
The world didn't see her as a burden because she was weak.
It saw her that way because she did.
She never loved herself.
She loathed her own existence.
She was the one who considered herself as a burden.
But now, watching him, that man cloaked in arrogance and confidence, someone who walked through calamity as if the world itself bowed to him, something inside her cracked.
She saw Rael move as he pleased… speak as he pleases..
