She was heavily sleeping the entire time

At that moment, Bernadetta slowly woke up.

"Mnh... Professor...?" she asked.

Wearing a huge smile, Byleth hugged Bernadetta, not even caring that the recluse was naked.

Bernadetta, however, did care. She screamed at the top of her lungs the moment Byleth's clothes touched her body, and she frantically tried to open her door, to no avail.

"Bernadetta, calm down, please." Byleth said.

"Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! YOU STRIPPED ME NAKED IN PUBLIC!!!"

"And I'm going to fix it, jeez!" Byleth said. "I have the master key right he-"

Bernadetta yanked the master key out of Byleth's hand, unlocked her door, and ran inside, slamming the door behind her.

"AND DON'T EVEN THINK OF OPENING THAT DOOR!!!" Bernadetta screamed.

Byleth sighed, took the master key out of the door, and left.
