Gabe marveled at a large statue of Ganesha that sat flush to the wall just outside his apartment entrance. The elephant was well over 8 feet tall, which he had no idea if that necessarily correlated with the number of the floor it was placed on, bright blue, and staring off peacefully to a corner of the wall on the opposing side. Its neck was ringed with dozens of flower necklaces, it's round feet nearly lost under fruit, bottles of alcohol, and scatterings of cigarettes. He'd brushed one large rotund arm with his fingertips, but drew back on second thought when the touch seemed both unsettling and intrusive. It might have been just a statue, but he could feel the animal's eyes on him; what it might think was not something he could say, but neither did he wish to incur some otherworldly wrath.
He'd touched base with both Aurora and Rafe earlier, ensuring all was well between them; aside from their general surprise at the shift in their living arrangements, neither were worse for the wear. Gabe had then taken it upon himself to start exploring his floor, trying to both understand the why and how of the changes. No answers seemed to be forthcoming; instead, his eyes flicked over candles, moving from the pachyderm to another nearby, many-limbed statue for further inspection.
