The door swooshed open, and David paused for a moment to survey the modest room. It was, he noted, somewhat more spacious than his quarters at the Academy. He flung his duffle bag onto the bed and extracted a small menorah, which he carefully placed on a shelf. Next, he retrieved a small cylindrical object and, with a tool in hand, stepped back into the hallway to attach the item to the doorpost. As he affixed it and smiled, reciting a brief prayer, he remained oblivious to the approach of another person.
