It's due in seven hours and you just woke up from an impromptu nap in your library cubicle.[roman type]" The Third Floor is a room. "You're on the third floor of the library.

You also see a set of stairs that'll lead you to the lower floors." A desk is here. "The desk next to you is piled with books and papers."

I left the key in the office so make sure to lock up when you leave. Good luck on your paper, Meg[end if]" The Second Floor is a room, below the Third Floor.
