[ It's the third day. Alex hasn't left the entrance hall since late on the first. Every time he's intended to leave, he's stayed just a few more minutes, just in case it opened or something was revealed about it. He has papers covered in scribbled speculations.

This means he hasn't gotten much sleep, because do more than catnap in a hall full of people that's grown a mysterious door? Hahaha no.

It's also given him plenty of time to realise that he's obsessing over a door without really knowing why. Okay, it appeared mysteriously. Good reason. He needs to know what's behind it for his own safety. Better reason. But during several horrible moments he wonders if the door's presence is really the focus of the event.

But he always loses the train of thought, and carries on staring at the door. ]
