"What? But why...?" Arlo wasn't expecting that answer. He thought that Sera would've at least told him how

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sera raised her eyebrow, "Did you lose your power, or something?"

"It's not me..." His expression darkened, "My aunt lost hers"

"W-what...?"

His aunt lost her powers? Who is his aunt?

But I can't just tell him that my Sis was behind it, nor can I tell him that Doc is able to cure her

"There, I sent it to you"

"I'll let you know later" Sera headed towards the door leading outside, but Arlo stopped her before she got to the knob

"Seraphina..." Arlo called, and she turned her head, "Why do you guys hate the authorities so much?"

"...It's better if you know it for yourself"

"Why are you being so secretive about it?" He was beginning to feel irritated. All of them was keeping him in the dark, oblivious
