In the gents...
Mop and bucket in hand, Walter pushes open the gents’ bathroom door and starts to mop the floor industriously. His way of movement, as if he's about to fall over and is just using the mop to stay upright as it flails from side to side almost randomly, doesn't seem the best way to mop a floor, and yet somehow there's no large puddles of water forming and the floor gets mopped expertly.
The bathroom is empty right now. Walter is aware of this as he cleans each cubicle methodically. Then he stops in front of the mirror over the sink and stares at his reflection.
Without breaking eye contact with himself, he slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls out the mask he picked up yesterday...
And straightens up dramatically, almost with a flourish.
Milliways has acquired itself another Ghost...
... he pulls the mask off and continues to mop the floor.
