Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view
- - -
As much as it might sound selfish, there is something good that came out of Aldus's eternal sleep. I finally have a goal in my life.
I mean, it's not like I was doing things without a reason so far, but wishing for a happy eternity with Duke is not exactly a solid goal in life.
Since I woke up in my father's lab in Venice, I was doing things as my father told me, and on my own, I placed in front of me short-term things like to read a book, learn a skill, figure out a recipe, make a pill, perfect an ability, meet with Duke.
And even before that, my only goal was to finish my education and leave my so-called parents, but I never thought about what I would do after that.
I guess I was never the planning type.
However, now I have a tangible thing in front of me: wake up my father.
It's specific, measurable, achievable, and it gave me a purpose.
