When: 11 Nov YDAU, around 2100h — the same night as the dining-hall return.
What: On Mario's night walk through the third floor, Ingersoll is present only as sound: "Behind 310, Ingersoll and Penn's door, is the faint rubbery squeak of somebody moving around on crutches." His roommate Penn is still hospitalized; the squeaking somebody is audible but unseen. The book's last live trace of him: alone in his room, room-bound, in motion.
