The Repairman appeared to be distressed by something outside of the Narrator’s field of view. Was it the fourth wall? It was possible, the Narrator reasoned, his gaze fixed on the tape recorder. It was possible.

“Well,” said the Narrator. “Well. Yes. I think that would help. Where did you get that?”

“Ever hear of ‘hammerspace’?” the Repairman asked as he took a staple gun out from behind his back.

There were several ka-CHUNKs as he hastily fixed what he had caused, making sure none of the staples were hitting anything other than the Wall.

“Please,” he implored, “Continue. Don’t worry, this’ll pick it up.”

Still stapling, he turned the recorder to reveal three switches. These switches were labeled “Music,” “Sound,” and "Voice.“ The "Voice” switch was the only one that was up.
