Illustration for The Second Night, from the adult visual novel The Sixth Seal

You come back the next night because she left the door unlatched, which is the closest she has come to asking.

She is bent over the desk with the marking halfway done and does not stop working until you are close enough to interrupt her.

SableThe Seal will take a year from you whether you are careful or not. Be careless with me instead.

Afterwards she marks a paper, badly, and puts the wrong grade on it, and does not correct it.

SableDon't tell the Vane girl. She'd be insufferable about it.
