at once i knew that i was not magnificent
straight above the highway aisle, jagged vacance thick with ice
and i could see for miles and miles and miles

Much to his horror, Lupine had been called to investigate a disturbance in the girls' dormitory. His brief investigation had led him to believe that the source of the commotion was in the 14-18 years olds' dorm. He hovered anxiously outside the door, his hand reaching for the knob and then recoiling as if it had been burnt. He was already blushing from embarrassment at the idea of intruding on the living quarters of young ladies. He nearly had a stroke when it occurred to him that some might be in a state of undress. Even those who were wearing their sleep clothes would be much too uncovered for him to look at them.
Lupine was torn between his duty as a teacher and his principles as a man. What would his father think if he knew! Well, Lupine had never met his father, so he couldn't be sure. But he liked to believe that his dad had been a fine upstanding citizen and quite a gentleman. The fact that he pro-created with a goblin (out of wedlock, to boot!) showed evidence to the contrary. But like all humans, Lupine did not like to think about the fact that his parents had sex. He was stalling at the point, and he decided that, for the sake of his duty, for the well-being of the scantily-clad adolescent girls, and his own pride, he would enter the dorm.
Throwing open the door dramatically, Lupine immediately chickened out and clapped his hands over his eyes. His face was burning red. "Attention! Attention everyone! There is a man in the room! Please cover up your private parts!" THe girls in the room, who had all turned to stare at the intruder when the door slammed open, began tittering amongst themselves. Lupine's horror increased by about a million, and his face began to turn an unhealthy-looking purple colour. "What's going on? I heard there was a disruption! As your superior, I demand that someone inform me of the cause of mischief!"
His authoritative voice was undermined by his slight stutter and the strained quality of his voice, which made it sound like he was trying to speak with a heavy weight around his neck. Many of the girls were perplexed at Dr. Hart's behaviour - those who had never taken a language course during their time at the academy. Other girls were rolling their eyes, familiar with the teacher's dramatic tendencies.
"I'm opening my eyes!" Lupine shouted, hoping that it would persuade all the young ladies to at least cover themselves with blankets. After a long moment of hesitation in which he battled with his instinct to simply run away, Lupine pried his eyes open. There were girls everywhere, and nearly all of them were in their pajamas. It was worse than he'd thought - it seemed the students considered short-shorts and crop tops pajamas.
Letting out a squeal of horror, Lupine attempted to run away. He ran straight into the wall, and knocked himself out.
