[Perhaps unfortunately, Raskolnikov has knocked on Numbers' door. Numbers has barely dug out the pathway to his door, instead apparently excavating just enough to allow the door to swing open and for him to trudge outside, but not enough to make it easy for others to come visit. Which is the way that he likes it.
So he's a bit startled when someone knocks. He peers out the peephole, assessing Raskolnikov for a moment. After a minute or two, he opens the door, looking down at him and giving him a blank stare.]
