+ I'd planned how to prevent the lock from sealing behind me; it
+ required a temporary sacrifice, not cleverness. I used the door
+ itself to help me cut off a portion of my body, after shunting all

+ inexpressibly dear and forlorn for a bit of blue jelly, would
+ force open the outer door until I returned and rejoined it.
