Almost two full hours had passed…
Anxious murmurs echoed throughout the academy halls as a large number of professors, guards, and even curious students gathered near the residential wing. Reports had spread like wildfire — someone had broken into Teacher Morgana's apartment! Dozens moved in response, rushing toward her quarters as if their presence could somehow make a difference.

Still, the professors moved anyway — not out of necessity, but out of respect. Even hearing a single "thank you" from her lips would have been enough to make the day worthwhile. Yet, despite all their efforts, none of them even came close to achieving that.
