Chapter 84: Twilight

'Spending my childhood alone is not painful. But the insecurities and the pressure to beg for warmth drive my dreams to curse all those who have a complete family to break.'

'Why can they be with their parents, and I couldn't?'

The nights became Seraphyne's haven as she continued to adjust to her newly discovered abilities.

'Did I deserve to be alone?'

'Did I deserve to suffer and be in captivity like a soulless doll?'

'I never dreamed of becoming a hybrid, and I just want to be someone ordinary.'

'I never wanted to have powers, but I can't change what I am.'

'Can someone out there...'

'Give me a piece of warmth as I begged?'

She was guided by the moonlight, whose silvery radiance cast long outlines through the deep forest.

'The night calls me to be cruel. I wanted to rest, but rest felt like being roasted in screams and reprimand. There's no one here but me. But all I could hear was the song of disappointment.'
