[ The door opens on the main room of a basic apartment's living area.
Ahead of you is the living room. There's a table and chairs, an old television, a worn sofa, and a coffee table with two framed photographs laying face-down on its surface. A girl sits on the sofa, her arms wrapped around herself as she stares at nothing. She has brown hair and blue-grey eyes, and somehow manages to seem to be both 2 years and 16 years old. She doesn't react to your entrance.
To your left is the kitchen, which is clean. The coffee pot is full and hot, spreading the scent of coffee through the room. An answering machine with a blinking message light sits on the counter.
Two doors (other than the one you entered by) lead out of the apartment, one on the left and one on the right of the entrance. A litterbox sits in a corner of the living room, but there is no sign of a cat. ]
[ The two frames are in slightly different condition - one with a light coating of dust on the back, as if it's been flipped down for a while, and the other dust-free.
Now that you're closer to the coffee table, you can also see that there's a drawer set into it right below the photos. ]
[ The dusty-framed photograph is of a very handsome man with pale skin, and tousled dark hair that has bands of brown in it, like a tabby's coat. His eyes are piercing green, he has cat-like slit pupils, and pointed ears. All in all, even without the more obvious unnatural traits, he doesn't look quite human. He's smiling roguishly at the camera.
When you touch the frame, the room briefly fills with the scent of musk and pennyroyal.
The less-dusty photograph is of a woman who looks nearly identical to Lucky. Her features are slightly less angular, her hair is cropped short and layered, with the top layer a natural brown and the underlayer dyed amethyst purple. She's grinning brightly, clearly much more outgoing than Lucky.
When you touch the frame, the room briefly fills with the scent of cotton candy and ashes. ]
[ Despite it not making any logical sense, looking at the girl on the sofa you see both a toddler and a teenager at the same time. A closer inspection of her face reveals that, despite not having the slightly-inhuman angles of Lucky's features, this girl looks remarkably like her.
She doesn't respond to your presence, seemingly completely disconnected from her surroundings, or staunchly ignoring the intruders. ]

[Weird. She'll dust off both frames and leave them upright. Since she doesn't recognize either of the people in them, she doesn't have much else going for those, but the drawer is interesting so she'll open it to take a look inside.]
[ There are five more framed photographs in the drawer.
On top, face-up, is a photograph of a woman with long hair and Japanese features, in a kimono, who despite seeming quite solid and real, has a watery quality about her. She is most certainly not human. Touching this photograph will briefly fill the room with the scent of hibiscus and water lilies.
Below, the other four:
A photograph of Dare, the girl from downstairs in the lobby, looking like she's trying to be tough but also trying not to laugh. Touching her photograph fills the room with the scent of apples.
A photograph of a tall man with angular, inhuman features and curly red hair, his arms wrapped around the shoulders of a small Japanese woman with multiple fox tails peeking out under her robes and a rose in her hands.
A photograph of two very little girls playing in a garden - one is slightly older, with similar features to the couple from the previous photograph and vivid red hair, and the other is slightly younger, and the other looks like the girl on the sofa.
A photograph of a woman and child, very old, the fashion speaks of the 1950s - the woman has pale blonde hair and looks like Lucky but more so, and the little girl looks very much like the girl in the previous picture, but not quite. ]

She's an echo of a memory. She hasn't really been here for a very long time.
