True. But Luka DID remain in the room, and his apartment is a wee bit
smaller than your apartment seems to be.  He has, as near as can be
determined at this point, 3 rooms. (2 bedrooms and an open-plan living
space with LR/DR/kit.) Unless he planned on going right to bed anyway,
he would likely have been hanging out in the living area for a while.
(As we saw him doing.)
