When: 20 Nov YDAU, before 0500h.
What: Hal wakes before 0500 to find Mario asleep, gently window-lit, "hands folded on his chest as if awaiting a lily," four pillows bringing his chin to his chest; the closest Mario comes to snoring is a thin drawn-out "key" (sometimes "ski") at the back of his throat.
