You're welcome.\" He offers\u0026nbsp;a small smile.\n\n**Ask if he'd like some company for a while.**\n\n\"Thanks, but... now's not a good time. Sorry.\"\n\n**Wish him a nice day.**\n\n\"You too.\" He closes the door.

It leads down to a hallway that is a little longer. Six doors adorn the two walls, numbered from **101** to **106**. The hallway takes a left turn just past the furthermost doors. You advance down the hallway and take the left turn. The rest of the hallway consists of a single **decorative painting** ;two rows of **mailboxes** , with corresponding numbers; a single window, which reveals the outside world; and the building's **entrance door_._**\n\n**Look out the window.**\n\nOutside is the night.

The streets are empty.\n\nYou feel a little cold.\n\n**Examine mailboxes.**\n\nThe mailboxes are all locked, with a slit on top to slip in letters.\u0026nbsp;There are few names to be found on the boxes. Most of them appear to have been recently scraped away or removed. There are half-names like _-Ex_,_-Son_,_-Ttir_on the 2nd\u0026nbsp;floor row. **203**'s tag reads R. A. Abrams; **202,** however, is nameless...\n\n* * *\n\n**HOW TO PLAY**\n\nComment below with suggested actions for\u0026nbsp;our hitherto unknown male Corgi-weasel\u0026nbsp;protagonist.
