Title: Window
Day #7: The world was beautiful and Serena watches through a barred window.
There must be more to the world than this, all cold gray stone and iron bars, and Serena wishes that she could see it. Can't the Professor see that she wants more than to be stuck here all the time? That there are dimensions and worlds that are just begging to be explored?
Serena does not know what war is. All she knows is the cold isolation of her room and what knowledge the Professor deems necessary. War is only a fantasy she creates in her mind. War was Academia educating those who stupidly cling onto unneeded summoning methods.
Academia is always right and Serena wants to fight. Be the one who was in charge instead of being reprimanded.
But when she screams about her wish to be on the battlefield, Serena feels guilt. Because she didn't care about the war as much as being free. Of being able to see something other than the blue-gray water and jagged rocks.
That was ridiculous of course. How could she feel more free at a strange dimension than her own home?
Serena watches the world from being a barred window and tries to convince herself that her room is not a prison.
