NIKI
With his plan for the new door approved, Niki smiles and gets to work. He makes a list of instructions for himself to follow and then carefully removes the glass from the existing window so he can set it aside to be reused. He's just making sure the space in the entryway for the door to sit is measured properly when Maea returns with tea and sandwiches, and he offers her a grateful nod.
Still, it isn't until he has procured a couple of hinges and has hung the bottom portion of the door (ensuring they can't accidentally fall out of the treehouse) that he pauses to take a break. "This is very kind, thank you," he says, sipping at his tea and taking a moment to enjoy a sandwich; all the while, though, he's still gazing at the half-finished door and what is left to be done.
Once he's refreshed, he carefully inserts the window panes into their new construction and mounts it atop the lower half of the door with another set of hinges. Completing the job with a brass door handle and a little hook for the top of the door, he steps back to survey his work and wipe the sweat from his brow.
That done, he promptly moves back to the siding for the walls, though by now it's true that he's leaning against his cane a little more heavily than usual. One thing's for sure: he's going to sleep well tonight.
Niki constructs the door and gets going with the rest of the siding!

my body's on the line now, I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
I can feel the light shine on my face
