Within the building they are situated in, there is nothing of note such as furniture, rather there is a notable dark-colored swag valance where the drapes are on either side of the much larger, almost square like back window. Outside of this is the shadow of two branches, which join the shadow underneath the valance. There are similar shadows from the trees, possibly indicating an evening sun. From the darkened curved ceiling to below the window is decorative panel moulding. In contrast to the neat interior of the rather small room, the outside, whether intentional for the style or not, is unkept. While not direlect in that the building is still standing, a few of the light colored bricks are slightly cracked in places, the cement like substance or what could be a moss is spread across some. From Mika and Yu's hands on the window ledge, the glass may be absent. The branches of an ancient appearing tree have grown on either side of the frontal window, where they have an ivy like plant trailing up them.
