"Not quite," Rey says, looking around; the rooms are locked until they're assigned, so she hasn't had a chance to see this one until now. She has to agree with Merrill's assessment -- it's really quite lovely. "All of them usually follow some sort of theme. Mine looks like a lot like a cave."

Rey traces the handrail along the curving stairs, then stops and turns to Merrill. "I'm glad you like it. Some people get here and don't like their rooms. There's no changing it permanently, though. The room will just revert to its previous form if you try to paint over it."
