	As Ted’s car rolled to a stop in the parking lot of Tell’s workshop, Vicki was already anticipating her reunion with Kirsten.

The other side, by contrast, had been spared, except for the door of one room in particular---whereas the destruction on the opposite side of the hall had been indescriminate and completely random, the door in question had been carved up like some sort of ancient billboard---if ancient billboards had ever existed, and been written in archaic Japanese.
