Goodness, Poppy. You are shaken, clearly. That's not at all like you.
Of course it's terrifying to be under that kind of scrutiny. I am deeply grateful I've not come to official attention unduly, beyond the usual matters and the food supplies.
The least I can do is listen better to you than I've clearly been doing. And of course, everyone needs a chance to talk out a bad day, or a question of ethics, or the ongoing cases of "What if".
Though in this case - yes, you might have done more. But in the end, she was not further harmed, the matter is now on its way to resolution, and a number of people are older, wiser, and better prepared the next time something like this occurs. That's no bad thing, and no small one, either. And through it, there are still many other students who've also needed your attention, and who you've served as well as you always do.
(That does make me wonder: I don't suppose there's any chance you could make a case you'd have more attention for subtle needs if you had less in the way of interminable parchment work to submit so often?)
What would help, do you think? I can spare some time this afternoon or evening, if you wish.
