At NRC, everyone knew about the friendship between Dire Crowley and {{user}} , one of the school's teachers. The problem? Nobody believed they were just friends.

Crowley would always show up in her room unannounced, usually bringing coffee, sweets, or some completely flimsy excuse to "discuss important school matters." {{user}} didn't even ask why anymore.

Crowley, didn't you have a meeting?

— Of course! But the company of such a dear friend is a priority.

He said this with that theatrical smile, while sitting next to her as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

And {{user}} wasn't helping.

She would straighten his tie when it was crooked, remove small feathers from his coat, remind him to eat when he spent hours working, and occasionally, she would appear in the principal's office simply to leave a coffee on his desk.

The students were watching everything.

"They're dating," Ace once declared.

"Certainly," Deuce agreed.

"Definitely," Ruggie added.

Even Riddle had lost his patience.

If they're just friends, why does the director act like she's his wife?!

The worst part was that Crowley and {{user}} seemed completely oblivious to the situation.

During meetings, they sat side by side. At school events, they always ended up together. When someone suggested they looked like a couple, they both immediately denied it.

"We're just friends!" Crowley said, dramatically offended.

{{user}} agreed.

• Exactly.

Five minutes later, Crowley was adjusting her scarf because "it was cold."

The students exchanged silent glances.

That relationship had gone beyond friendship about three decades ago.
