  • 3 of 8: On the right side of the desk is a drawer that you can get a hand cursor on.
  • 4 of 8: After the desk drawer is open, click on it over and over to get new things until clicking on it closes it.
  • 5 of 8: Next, open the office's side door so you can search the room past it.
  • 6 of 8: Examine the chalkboard that's to the left of the door as you enter.
  • 7 of 8: Examine the dead bird that's on a table, and get the notebook that's on the desk to the left of the bird.
