Martin opens his mouth, about to apologize, when he jumps - his mobile is ringing. No one around them takes any notice; he's too invisible for them to, but he's going to have to materialize if he wants the caller to be able to remember that they're talking to him.
And it's the home. So he might as well get it over with.
Reluctantly, Martin forces himself back into existence. Some patrons give him odd looks for appearing so suddenly, had he been there before? But people are very good at pretending that they haven't seen anything.
Martin picks up.
With sympathies, the nurse informs him that his mother had passed from a sudden and unexpected heart attack. At his earliest convenience, he can come fill out the paperwork and settle final fees. Do you have any questions, Mr. Blackwood?
"No. N-no, no. Thank you. Thank you very much."
He hangs up before the nurse can continue, and allows himself to fade out again.
