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

My mind was woozy, and I was sluggish due to a lack of energy.
The last time I felt like this was in college when I skipped two nights of sleep in order to cram-study for my three back-to-back exams.
Aldus woke me up and I needed at least a few more hours of sleep in order to feel human.
This ability sucks!
But I didn't dare complain or show weakness because it will only prove Aldus right and expose how weakened I am.
I know that Aldus was right. He warned me, yet I ignored it and was reckless, but I was determined to keep it to myself.
I focused mightily on keeping my back straight and my steps steady, determined not to show how shitty I felt.
