Situation: Sitting in between two chairs by the table while looking at the flyers on the board in front of me.
Alternative situations: I walk across the room, to the other side of the table, and turn around to sit on the middle chair as I prepare to resume work. I am sitting on the chair beside the cabinet and staring at the picture.
Question: What is closer to me between the case in my 12 o'clock direction and the door in my 3 o'clock direction?
