[there's a little clicking sound nearby, and a flash of light at the bathroom door, which folds open and ... isn't the bathroom door anymore. it isn't open all the way, just a touch, but Norman calls out from inside]
Well, then, elsewhere it is. C'mon in whenever you're ready, if you want to leave a note or anything.
[when Otto does decide to come in, the little room is just as small and tidy as he'll remember it from his recuperation after he arrived. Norman has decorated it a little bit more: there's a tiny desk just big enough to sit at for notes or reading, with a little potted zamiakalla plant in one corner. a shelf above on the wall holds a modest yet growing assortment of books: copies of both volumes of Spengler's Monster Guide, Gray's Anatomy. the self-help DID book he'd had on him at the lake now has 'friends', and alongside all of that are a couple of nicely-bound notebooks, their spines each labeled in Norman's steady hand: Project Epigaea and Ludenvardt Progress. the former, Otto will realize, is part of the Latin name for the mayflower. Norman's sitting cross-legged at the foot of his bed in loose black pants and one of Peter's punny science t-shirt gifts, the chair at the desk left free and conspicuously angled so that his guest can know it's for him]
