Welll now that picture creates even more questions! Presumably it means that in the current comic, in panel 1 Marten is walking around the bend past the bathroom, and as he approaches in panel 2 Faye is sitting on the grey couch in front of her room... but in panel 3 we have yet another wall! The couch ends right there at the wall, with nary but a lamp between, and... Marten's room *does not exist*. The apartment ends right at the blue tree poster.
I need to stop thinking about this...
I think they just moved the furniture around. People do that!

I don't think the furnishing is right in that sketch - I can't recall any evidence that there are two sofas, for a start.
But in today's strip, yes, the first door is the bathroom, and then the next is Marten's room as we have gone right past the Mogwai poster and Faye's door to reach the couch. And the couch doesn't end at the wall - it is spaced away from both the wall behind it and the one at the left, which makes it rather non-obvious to see.

You can see the brown couch against the wall in this strip.
Now that I think about it, I think the sketch works if you take the entire living room set- (sofas, lamp/table, TV) and shove it all to the left against the far wall there, and then back up against Faye's room wall. Once the gap goes away, it makes things fit.

Elliot had more than a passing crush on Padma, and I can't imagine it'd be easy to get over someone you worked with everyday and knew quite well.
I can definitely see him telling Marten "good for you!" and not holding a grudge. But being truly over it? That's the part that seems totally unbelievable. I've had a guy I had a crush on get together with another one of my friends after telling him I was into him and being told he didn't feel the same way. I congratulated them honestly--they were both great people, and she was a far better match for him than his previous girlfriend. But I was still sad and jealous for a while.

Thing is...I've been through what Elliott has been and yes, after you pine for somebody that long and finally realize that it's never going to happen (or in Elliott's case, never meant to be), you can get over it real quick. It's like you've spent all of your angst on the uncertainty and possiblity that there's nothing left on the other end other than an open road. That, and I discovered that whatever feelings I had for her turned into friendshiip over that time.
Not everybody is the same. And not everybody reacts the same way to similar situations.
