In Antares, Seras was seriously contemplating suicide.
After being away for so long, the amount of work that she had to do was not small.
In the entire time she'd been back home, she hadn't left her desk that seemed to have an enormous stack of paperwork piled on top of it.
No matter how much she completed, there always seemed to be more waiting for her.
Suddenly, there was a knock at her door and her father Hajun walked in carrying a tray of food.
"My little floofie bear...? I've brought you something to eat, the maids said you haven't-"
Seras held out her hand, and all of the food on the tray erupted into bloody red flames.
All except the desert and tea that her father brought.
These days, sugar seemed to be all that was keeping her going.
Her father shrugged like he already somewhat expected this outcome, and placed the tray on her desk as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
