After an extended absence from Hawk Manor when she found herself staying at [[the Institution]], she returned to find the Manor dusty and abandoned. Making her way to the Manor's Library, she found a portal ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 5: The Library|The Library]]'') into [[the Library (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|the Library]] of a different, infinite [[The Strange and Wonderful House|House]]. There, she observed that it was as dusty as her own Library, but that the bathroom collected to the Library was, absurdly, completely clean by contrast. While she was debating replacing a book — ''[[Les Misérables]]'' — which had been neglectfully left in the bathroom in question, she heard a creaking noise behind her, signaling the presence of someone or something else in the Library.

When she sat down, a disembodied voice called on her to act as judge on a criminal of the House, a [[Man (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|man]] accused of stealing from the [[Fountain of Youth]]. After looking into his eyes, she judged him guilty, pressing the red button on her arm-rest instead of the white. This caused a trapdoor to open under the man, casting him into [[Pandemonium]].
