Author's note: this is from Aldus's point of view

Serina returned from her outing and told me about her encounter with Mona. I had difficulty believing my ears.
I knew that Serina trusts people easily, but what happened to not disclosing her presence? That was the only thing I asked of her, to be careful so that no one knows Sanya is back, and she was unable to stay under the radar.
When that girl approached her, she was supposed to deny she is Sanya. In French or Italian.
There was no point in scolding Serina. She will learn this lesson the hard way. People are treacherous, and they never do things out of the goodness of their hearts. Sure, maybe sometimes they are inspired to contribute to the greater good, but the next day their mood might be off or someone will give them a bigger incentive, and they will betray you.
