When the door opens, I get a strange feeling. Later, upon thinking on it again, one might have describe those feelings as relief? And maybe accomplishment?
In terms of preparation, there was not much. I put the nail file back where it belongs out of habit, so it won't be lost, and I put my stool back near my table. Because where else would it belong? Then, I decide to open the door and see what lies beyond...
Spoiler: oocFor now kind of being stupid and not taking anything, but if/when it becomes apparent that no one's around, and that this isn't some "test", and if I have to go back to try getting something else I need, then it would probably be natural to think "hey, I should bring some of these objects with me".
At this rate the nail file looks like the most useful item. Not sure how much use a tooth brush or comb is going to be. Toothpaste as lubricant? Or to make a monster slip? Hmm...
