There's no room for the new furniture. It'll have to go into one of the back rooms. There are people back there, strangers, lodging in places you haven't explored. Where does our space end and theirs begin? The landlady will show us, but first, she takes us to tour the new rooms just opened, near the top, all the way up the aluminium stairs alongside a metallic catwalk. Whole suites! Our parents can stay there when they visit. Doors at the top lead into the Galleria: an administrative office, the Army recruiting post. Are there free CDs in the literature rack?
