[Pre-today in Milliways.]Since even Milliways coffee wears off after a while, Ray realized last night that he had to find somewhere to sleep, regardless of whether or not he planned to try and go home any time soon. He's had a decent night's rest, a shower, and a change of clothes- he's wearing civvies now; the suit's been stashed in the cloakroom along with his proton pack.
He's acquired a new notebook, a significantly larger one, and has developed enough common sense to get himself a proper breakfast before he starts socking back the stimulants.
This isn't going to do him much good, of course, but at least he's making the effort.
