"Well Max is the first one who's come to me complaining of headaches and memory loss." Which was why she had automatically assumed his issues were stemming from his age. Although there was that Krummy kid Kurumi last term. It seems she hadn't been able to control the color of her hair. Maybe that had been a symptom of her touching the orb.

WHY would he leave that thing in a school... full of curious children? "I'm starting to think a lot of things around this place are happening because of that orb." Especially now that she knows it's still in the castle. "You sure that things still locked up? Some mischievous elf or even a sneaky student hasn't gotten their hands on it again... have they?"
