Author's note: this chapter is from Seraphina's point of view
---
I know that Aldus is trying to tell me unbelievable things, and I always thought that he is not alone in that head of his, but I need to hear what he has to say.
"Is that why you are doing all those tests? Because I am different than a regular human?", I asked reluctantly while finding that the word 'different' fits better than 'special' or 'unique' that Aldus is usually using.
"Yes."
I was glad to hear a simple answer instead of his usual essay-like one that does not make sense.
"What did your tests tell you so far?"
I was not sure if he smiled because my question showed interest in his work or because I omitted my usual sarcasm.
He was almost giddy while he talked.
