“into” is better, but in this context we would understand “in” to mean the same thing. – StephenS Oct 05 '20 at 15:17

@StephenS Thank you! Understanding is one thing, yes, but would you say that it's technically completely wrong? Or would it sound weird? – John James Oct 05 '20 at 15:24

It sounds fine. There are contexts where the slight difference might matter, but not this one. – StephenS Oct 05 '20 at 15:25
