Two tiny bugs just after defeating the Basilisk:
1. Once you've found the letter among the bones, you can search the bones again and it finds the letter again (which means it moves from your inventory to the room if you've already picked it up).
2. If you LOOK, you 'open your eyes' again even though they're no longer closed.
