[00:36.37]to get through the next two weeks,
[00:39.01]until three days before the last day of school.
[00:42.65]I was helping¹ my neighbor Kim,
[00:44.96]who lived across the hall from me two doors down,
[00:48.13]pack up her room.
[00:50.22]Kim and I were talking about her French penal,
[00:53.27]her grandfather, WWII etc.
[00:57.44]when we came to a lull² in the conversation.
[01:00.36]At which point Kim asked me what I thought of my room.
[01:04.38]I said it was okay;
[01:06.16]she wrinkled up her nose and said,
[01:08.21]"Oh! I hated that room!
[01:10.77]I couldn't get out of there fast enough
[01:13.04]and I still don't like to walk past it."
[01:16.18]At which point we just stared at each other for a moment.
[01:20.20]I must have had a peculiar³ look on my face
[01:23.59]because then she said, "You've seen it too."

[01:31.34]When Kim first came to UW a year and a half before,
[01:36.45]she was assigned to room 217.

[01:50.75]Standing in the middle of her room looking startled
[01:54.80]as though he were just caught in the act
[01:57.30]of something was a tall man in a dark suit.
[02:00.84]He was bald, with a long sharp nose and black eyes
[02:04.50]that watched her as though he were surprised to see her
[02:07.69]and yet he had been walking towards her.
