In the bookstore, highlight "box" and show it in the room description #200

After entering the bookstore, after you "say who i am," Lena brings out a box with the modems and preamps.

There’s a brief pause. Lena goes off into a corner and rummages among the suspicious piles of books, and uncovers a box. “C’mere,” she says; and obediently I wander over to that area of the store, which incidentally happens to be tucked away and half-hidden by shelves.

The box isn't highlighted. Worse, if you somehow overlooked the box in that description and just look, there's no box, modems, or preamps mentioned in the room description at all, even after you examine the box.

> l Aquarium Bookstore The shop takes its name from the collection of fish mounted on every wall: swordfish, bass, other things I don’t recognize. Underneath these dubious tokens, the walls are covered with bookshelves, and there are stacks of books on the floor where the shelves have proven insufficient.

The merchandise consists mainly, but not exclusively, of books, and the selection caters to odd tastes.

Lena hovers, unwilling to let us look around ungoverned.
