Thinking about how to avoid the wedding is just going to make me sad. All right then, time to explore around the house.

Gilbert had said I was free to use whatever I wanted in the house, which meant I could legally snoop around.

I was a bit excited, like when I got to stay at a hotel and go through all the various drawers. It was also fun to get confused by trying to figure out how the alarm clocks and safes worked.

Let’s begin then, I thought. I jumped out of bed, where I’d been laying around having all of my gloomy wedding thoughts, and then quietly stepped out of the room. Since the house was deserted and I wasn’t doing anything wrong, there was no reason for me to stay quiet, but it was part of the fun.

I walked down the hall and first checked the room next to mine. I considered the possibility of it being locked, and since I didn’t want to accidentally break the lock, I turned the doorknob with extra gentleness.

It opened easily, and I saw a destroyed room. Judging by the shape and color of the splintered pieces, the furniture hadn’t been that different from what was in the room I was staying in prior to its total obliteration.

Would a regular house have this many business hotel-esque guest rooms? Also, what’s with all this destruction here? Does some unfettered samurai stay here regularly or something?

It wasn’t just the furniture that was destroyed. There was also a hole in the ceiling, and I had a clear view of the blue sky above us...

I knew that I was led to a room adjacent to this one, but I had thought it was on the other side of me.

Your sense of direction just gets messed up in an unfamiliar house, I assured myself.

I, the unfettered guest, slowly closed the door. Just as the quiet sound of the door latching shut rang out, a louder sound echoed from further away. It was the sound of the door in the entryway.

Maybe it’s a trick house, like those places where closing a drawer opens something somewhere else, or...

“He’s home,” I said, finishing my thought out loud. It was definitely the latter.

Roughly an hour had passed since Gilbert had departed. Because I’d spent so much time lost in thought, I had barely had a chance to explore the house. I scampered back to my room and sat in the chair, acting like I’d never even thought of leaving my little room. All I had to do was stare out the window, and my ruse was complete.

I heard his footsteps head upstairs at once. Soon after the sound of his ascent, there was a knock on my door.

“Yes, come in.”

“You’re still here...” he observed, cracking open the door. “I was hoping you’d be gone.”

“I’m planning to stay for three whole days. I’ll be in your care.”

Gilbert sighed, muttering something about me being annoying or something. Unlike his previous
