Notable features

• One NPC, your employer, has a quasi-presence in the upstairs corridor. Since he's nominally on the other side of a door and won't come out, he isn't listed as present in the corridor. However, the PC can interact with her employer as if he was in the corridor.
• Three endings. It's not obvious which ending, if any, is the best one.
