Previously, on 1 Month to Confession:

ELAINE: Uhm, Seraphina? Are you alright?

SERAPHINA: (laughing a pained laugh) Hehe. Can you BELIEVE it?
He HAS an Ability. AND a High-tier as well. Ha! He even had the nerve to tell me that we'll be powerless together!... Elaine, what do you think should I do?

ELAINE: M-Maybe you should h-hear him out. I don't think he's the type to hide something from anyone w/o a good reason.

VAUGHN: (changes the topic) I was surprised that John is your son. Why did you not at least tell me or mother?

WILLIAM: (face turning serious) You know the reason. I tried telling you but I stopped myself from doing so.

VAUGHN: It's great to see you again, William. (expression turns serious) And also, you need to watch out. Father might have sent some spies here in Wellston & he might found out about John once he knows that you're here. Besides, he doesn't know yet about his existence & you know how he'll react when he finds out that you've been keeping an "extremely powerful puppet" of a grandchild from him.

ATHENA: (leaned towards him & whispered) It's EMBER.

???: (stops drinking coffee) ... William? That useless son of mine... Has a son? (crushing his mug w/ his bare hands) That damn Cripple! (eyes glowing silver, dangerously) He DARES keep a potential grandson from ME?! (turns to Cain) Cain, I want you to cancel all my meetings. We're going to Wellston immediately.

<Seraphina's POV>

*sigh* Another boring day. As the teacher teaches the class, I'm just staring outside the window, gazing through the scenery before me. I remember what Elaine has advised me yesterday, about the situation between me & John. I can't help but think that she's right. Even if he's been hiding this much of a huge secret from me, I am also at fault for not even trying to listen to his side of the story. I've let my own emotions get the best at me & because of that, John's been hurt at my actions. And besides, John is NEVER the type to hurt me, unintentionally or not. If he's been hiding this huge of a secret from me, then it must have been something that he doesn't want to reveal to others. I wonder as to why he has to hide the fact that he has an Ability. Why is he pretending to be a Cripple? Why is he ashamed of his own power? I keep on asking these kind of questions ever since I found out about his secret.

W/ a sigh escaping from my mouth, I look around the classroom casually & discreetly to look for a certain ravenette---he's the only one in Wellston who has black hair---only to my disappointment that he's not here. I'm planning on apologizing to him today when I see him & listen to his reasons. But why is he not here though? John is NEVER the type to be late, unless he was from the infirmary. This is the second time it happened.
