nice to hear i didn't miss anything. it got a couple jumps out of me. one thing i wanted to make sure you knew: the atmosphere really tied this together. i'm not sure if it was your intention, but the way the room was designed compensated (and even complimented!) the silence. made it feel like i was supposed to be waking up in a lively apartment complex in the middle of a city, even at night, yet the silence suggested something more sinister was happening.
and you sly bastard. this is a very covert way to announce the sequel! i very much look forward to it.
