Instead, he gets up, the restless bloodhound in him wanting to re-examine the room, to explore any deeper changes. The whole house feels so strange to him. Changed in a million tiny ways that, taken together, seem massive. It's like not seeing your own face for eight years, then having someone hand you a mirror. Who is that guy? And then you realize: it's you. It's still you. ]
