Hector came to the supply office at the fourth hour.
He did not knock. He came in, looked at Lysander at the table, looked at the framework document on the corner of the table, and sat down.
He said: "You are sending Paris west."
"He is going. I gave him a framework."
"The difference between those two things."
"Is important."
"Yes." Hector looked at the framework document. He did not reach for it. "But in both cases he goes."
"Yes."
"In one week."
"Yes."
Hector was quiet.
"The exit condition," he said.
"Ampelos added it."
"Good." He looked at the wall. "Ampelos thinks about the door before the room. I think about what is in the room. You think about why you entered."
"Yes," Lysander said.
"Between the three of us Paris has a complete picture."
"That was my thought."
"It is a good thought."
He stood.
He went out.

An hour later he was back.
He came in and sat in the same chair with the same posture.
