Whoa, really jumpy chapter and hard to follow trying to make sense of the jumbled narrative. For example:
On the way to the cafeteria we picked up a tail, ‘Hi, how was the trip.”
“Very interesting, I’ll tell you about it later over coffee. Oh, that mural is something else. It is beyond my wildest dreams, that man is in the wrong job. Let’s check the kitchen.”
Who was the tail? I guess the painting of the wall is the mural, but it didn’t seem he went to see the room and, commenting on it the way to the cafeteria made it more confusing.
