There are still a couple of storage boxes left open on the bed, though most of his belongings are back in their proper places: artwork and photos of friends past and present on the wall; a guitar on a stand nestled in the corner; the record player he gifted to Jim for his birthday, and a small, travel-sized tea set sitting close together on the desk.
