>She nods in agreement, and you proceed up the stairs. They turn on on a small landing, then proceed southward.
>At the top of the stairs, you find it ends at a small landing with two doorways. The one to the west is open, revealing the empty room you saw before. The one to the west is closed. Obvious exists are North, East, and West.

> Carefully open the door and examine the room.

>You carefully slide the door open.
>The first thing you see is the red. It stands on the walls, stains the floors, soils the broken furniture, and even dots the ceiling. It is an old red color, muted and dark. Dust mutes it further, as well as the shredded open futon and the dresser laying on its side with drawers scattered about. There are also wisps of paper here and there, perhaps the remains of a lantern. The sun shines through the old curtain drawn over the windows.
