It took Seraphine an entire week to move on from Ferdinand.
Perhaps, up until now, she hasn't completely moved on. Then again, she spent many years with him during her previous life. He still let her experience what a father's love felt like even though it was fake. But at the very least, she is certain that she will still be able to get over everything someday.
Seraphine has already decided that she would live the way she wanted to, after all.
Even if nobody will end up loving her for real, she still has herself. She won't completely shut her world off from other people. Not interacting would be impossible. But she would make sure that she won't grow attached to anyone again. She will set her boundaries.
As long as she has this power, she will never hope for too much.
'Unlike me, there seems to be someone whose future looks increasingly bright…' Seraphine thought silently as she watched a crowd gather all around this certain orphan whom Ferdinand ended up choosing.
