Why can’t I pick up the trash can? I was able to before, but it won’t let me pick it up in this iteration (yeah, I started over again). This is very, very annoying.

Trash can: you have to “about item” on the hair before you can lift it.

It’s on the top left edge of the light as you look toward the door (and where you found that other card.) It appears to be camouflaged against the ceiling…all I saw was a tiny black outline. It seems to be as red as the ceiling.

It has to be facing the purple door, not the blue one. This vexed me awhile too.
