I'm sorry, Professor. It was careless of me to continue, despite how fatigued I clearly was. I probably should have listened to you. Now I've made a mess of things. I can't help but feel the need to rush, in all things, constantly. You get that way when you realize...you haven't got much time.

I believe I've mentioned that House Ordelia was, at one time, being controlled by people from the Empire. During that time, strange people — mages, perhaps — came and performed rituals on all the youth.
