You already know how much I love this story.
The imagery of the photos lining the ascending staircase is beautiful. The thought that, despite everything, the bedroom was made up for her with such specific detail is painfully sweet - no wonder it caused her to break down. The belief that Clark is silently behind that locked door, so close to her despite what she did to him - it has me on pins and needles...even though I know what happens! Masterful!
