I could see the top third of a room.

A drop ceiling with two panels missing.

The upper half of a whiteboard.

A wall calendar.

And, if I stood on the concrete curb at the base of the wall, which put me about nine inches higher, the top of a folding table and the people at it from the shoulders up.

Here is what I expected to see, and I think it is what anybody would expect, and I want it recorded so that the difference lands properly.

I expected menace.
