"You can now body swap using the machine behind the bookshelf"
You stare at the note in confusion for a moment. Machine behind the bookshelf? There wasn't anything behind the bookshelf except a wall. And body swap? It must be joking. You look back at the bookshelf and notice the book you placed back was still upside-down. You reach back in and pull it out to find a small button behind it this time.
