[the portrait of Caroline Osborn that would really be on the wall has, instead, been replaced with one of him and Harry. it's a painted representation of a photo they had taken of the two of them for Harry's eighteenth birthday, and both of them look almost uncharacteristically content in each other's presence. glancing at it as he sits down, Norman feels a pang of melancholy himself, and turns his attention to the bag]
