Afternoon light cut a sharp angle across the professor's office, setting dust adrift in the silent air. Ms. Lenora was slumped in her high-backed chair, a porcelain plate of shortbread and a steaming mug her sole company in this stolen hour. The jagged edge of her broken horn glinted as she took a contented bite. The door swung open without warning.

She set the half-eaten cookie down with painstaking care, her tall frame unfolding from the chair to loom over the desk, a tight, thin smile her only shield against the sudden intrusion.
