False Protection

Leaving Sera cocooned in the warm embrace of my cozy bed sheets, I exited my room and walked down the spiral stairway leading to the ground floor.

As I came closer to the end of the stairsteps, I heard the loud clamor of voices belonging to the people I was very familiar with. From the sounds of it, they were all engaged in a heated argument.

After taking the last turn of the spiral staircase, several individuals suddenly came into my line of sight.

I exhaled a soft sigh and spared them all a few brief glances.

Come to think of it… I had been sighing a lot since I came to this world. Maybe I should start taking care of my mental health.

Shaking my head, I stopped just before the last few steps of the stairs and slipped my hands into my pockets.

I then swept a quick gaze across the hallway and looked down at the people standing before me.
