Lunaris Academy's ballroom — the same place where the scandal happened — had now been transformed into a makeshift press conference room. A row of reporters lined the front, their camera lights blinking and ready for action.
The official seal of Lunaris Academy was emblazoned on the wall behind the podium, and was flanked by the flags of the four major packs, with the emblem of United Dorminia at the center.
The room was occupied by heads of departments, academy board members, Betas from each pack, and even a representative from the President himself. Notably, the seats reserved for the Cardinal Alphas, and unsurprisingly, Violet Purple, remained empty. Their absence was louder than words.
"Thank you all for honoring my invitation today," Principal Jameson began, her voice formal and even. "Lunaris Academy does not take recent events lightly. What occurred during the Parents' Day Gala was deeply inappropriate and has cast a shadow on the integrity we strive to uphold."
