Cursed by the Stars

'Since when were they here?' 

Lucas thought as he gazed at Seraphina, Amaya, and Sylviette, bewildered. He hadn't even noticed them entering the building. 

'Why do they look so shocked?' 

'Did they hear everything I said?' 

He couldn't tell how long they had been standing there, but he knew it must have been a while for them to be frozen in place.

'Still... why are they acting so weird?' 

As he thought this, he suddenly saw his reflection in the floor for a second. 

'Ah...' 

He had totally forgotten how drenched he was.

He had never shown anyone this side of him, and of course, they would be shocked if they heard him speaking to Father Franky while looking this horrible. 

Standing up from his seat, he was about to speak to them, but before he could, Seraphina disappeared before everyone's eyes, only to reappear right in front of Lucas again.
