Seraphina's Pov
The sound of the school anthem filled the auditorium as hundreds of voices joined in a unified chorus, and I stood there, looking around with an unamused look on my face.
Yuna's voice harmonized confidently beside me, but I kept my lips pressed tightly together. I hadn't bothered to learn the anthem yet, and even if I did know the words, there was no way I could bring myself to sing right now.
My body ached in a way I couldn't explain. Every muscle in my body felt tight and sore, as though I had been running for miles, even though I had done nothing more than get out of bed this morning.
My head kept throbbing with a relentless and sharp pain, and my stomach turned with a nausea that seemed to rise and fall. I took a slow breath and tried to stabilize myself, but even that felt like a difficult task.
