	The cat takes its leisurely place next to Kaldalis's helmet. Since Kaldalis has made his decision to let the cat remain, the door to the room is now closed. 

	When Kaldalis completes his welcoming speech to the feline, there is a knock at the door. The knock at the door is soft, sounding like that of a small fist rapping three times. When this occurs, the cat reacts as one confounded by pleasure. Her eyelids become heavy, as though she is receiving a caress from an unseen hand. While Kaldalis notices the cats responsive behavior, a second succession of raps at the door are heard. 

	This time the three consecutive knocks at the door are loud and abrupt, heavy enough to rattle the door in its frame. Furthermore, at this very same time, the window of the room cracks down the center with a piercing sound, while the mirror in the bathroom can be heard to fall from its placing and shatter when it hits the floor. More than this... as Kaldalis can hear and see these combined events taking place, a flood of blood begins to seep into the room from the crack beneath the door. 

	Now, the cat begins to purr. Her purrs are loud, reverberating through the room like that of a steam engine starting.  

	Will Kaldalis answer the door?
