Sometime before the middle of April the corner room on the second floor that feels like boundless, desperate euphoria has been cleaned out. Sid's removed the lock that she installed last year, replaced it with the original knob, but left the lock in box near the tool kit in case some other resident at least as paranoid as she is moves into one of the rooms. Bedding and linens have all been washed and put away, and any personal effects (clothing and plants mostly, some books) have been removed. All except for a neatly folded black blanket, left at the foot of the naked bed. Unfolded, its dimensions are around 6'x10', and on it is the colorful image of a nebula. A Post-It note, neon green, has been pinned to the cloth with a safety pin. The note is simple, and written in Sid's precise handwriting:
Feel free to borrow. Good for stargazing or laying out on the lawn.

Stuck to the fridge with a simple, circular purple magnet is another note:
I was offered a position at Frisk Biology and my first project is overseas. Will be unreachable by phone until at least the end of July. I'll update online when I'm back in the States. If you need to contact me I can be reached at [email address].
