They ride an elevator down three levels to the hotel director's suite. The suite has been checked and cleared. Inside the main bedroom waits Honjowara -sama 's personal valet with several changes of clothing as well as a suitcase full of toilet articles. Honjowara -sama strips to his shorts and makes brief use of the adjoining lavatory. There is only one means of access to this lavatory. Therefore, Machiko, the only member of the Guard now present inside the suite, waits just outside the lavatory doorway, rather than in it.
