Meg wakes to dogs barking

The guest room door remains closed throughout the event, serving as a physical and symbolic boundary between the private sanctuary of the guest room and the disturbances unfolding outside. Its closed state allows Meg to move quietly without waking Joni, while also isolating the room from the noise of the dogs’ barking. The door’s role is functional, ensuring privacy and containment, but it also underscores the tension between the room’s quiet interior and the chaos beyond.

Before: Closed, sealing the guest room and maintaining privacy.

After: Closed, unchanged, with no indication of disturbance or entry.
