- Well, TECHNICALLY... (From the end of Part 23 of Sister 3, The Fate of Magic)

I don't think there would actually be a "pop" sound, but I insisted there be a "pop" sound.

I had to consider for a bit how Hope's room would work with other "guests", and Lavender in particular. Not for terribly long, it was easy to decide upon remembering it's no more complicated than Hope's perception (rather than some objective criteria or outside force).

She wouldn't feel a hospitality obligation to other temporary visitors unless they were of particular importance with a strong connection to the home.

Put another way, no, a plumber hired to fix the sink wouldn't be able to see the room.

With that in mind, I think Edward pointing out "this is her home, too" was technically unnecessary. Hope would consider the fiancée of the homeowner falling under hospitality obligation without it.
