Luna forced me to follow her, to Ethan’s. We could’ve gone to SHU Library, I had some things to research always.

“Miss Luna, why are we going to a bar?” I asked.

“Well, this is where I live.” She answered

Does she live in Ethan’s? That’s weird. Ethan never mentioned her.

We went in and the door chime rang as the door closed.

“We’re closed, “ Ethan said while he’s back was turned on us.

“I will be damned, you showed up.” Ethan continued now looking at us.

“Well, of course. I am your darling wife after all.” Luna rebutted.

Wife? Wife?! Does that mean Madalyn is Luna’s daughter?

“I know what you’re thinking, Mika. Yes, Madalyn is my daughter. Yes, Ethan is my husband. I don’t carry his name as they could be targeted by people against me.” Luna continued.

“So, what did you come here for?” Ethan asked.

“Erthel’s gift for Mika,” Luna answered.

Ethan went to the Employees Only room. I could hear him scrounge up something. Seems heavy.

“Here,” Ethan spoke as he put the box on top of the table.

“Real mysterious, mother,” I said before going to the box.

I opened it, it was a book. Specifically a grimoire.

“That’s your mother’s grimoire, Mika. She wanted you to have it.” Luna told me as she looked at me.

“A grimoire? I should ask Mikael.” I told Luna before walking to the door.

“Mika. Don’t.” Luna called out. “It’s best for other people to not know about this, even your friends.” She continued.

Not even them? Just what is in that Grimoire? I should ask Luna.

“What’s in it?” I asked them.

“It’s how you can control your Glare,” Ethan answered.

“My Glare?” I asked in confusion.

The problem with my Glare. My body can’t handle it.

It's a burden.
