- The absentee certificate allows for travel across the country, but Klaus Schimmer's was lost at the archives.
- This is due to him going against the takeover of the apartment back when he owned it, thus the archive employees "lost" it.
- Klaus explains that to get anything from the archive, one needs to be friends with the employees or else they are extremely inefficient and can lose documents.
