The room that you enter, is one that has no sense of presence in it. As if this room has not been inhabited by its owner for quite some time. The quietude in this room is profound, yet, as you enter, laid upon the bed is a small book bound in red leather.

Your guide steps to this thoughtfully, picking it up. She smiles as she reads it a certain wistful fondness in her gaze. She sets the book back down, and looks at you.

"This place has not been occupied for many years," says she, "Nine or more, to be closer to the mark."

She is silent for many moments, gently running her fingers over the wood of the desk, across the still-crisp sheets on the bed. She looks up at you again, "It has not been used in so long, because this room belongs to me."

Please be patient as the image loads.
