>>6339132Inside the building it's dark and damp, unsurprisingly. The lobby's caked in dust, spiderwebs, and dead leaves, but vines crawl over the walls like everywhere else. A water fountain has turned into a sort of jungle bouquet of brightly-colored flowers. A broken vending machine stands in the corner. You hear the buzzing of insects around you, and the dripping of some damaged pipe in the walls. The scratching sound is gone.
You see the summoned spirit sniffing around before disappearing up the staircase to the second storey. There doesn't seem to be anything up there but studio apartments arranged along a semi-open hallway that faces the outside.
On the second storey, you stand at the beginning of the hallway: to your left is the cityscape as seen from the balcony, and to your right is a row of doors leading into apartments. All of them seem to be closed, but perhaps they can be forced open.
"What's he sniffing...?" Hassan ascends the stairs behind you, looking over your shoulder for his summoned spirits. It's sniffing the door of the fourth apartment at the end of the hallway, before clambering up to an adjacent window and sneaking in through the broken pane. You decide to follow. Hassan gives the door a good kick, then you do. It's hard to gauge who's the stronger of the two based on this action, but you certainly have more experience with this type of thing. After a couple kicks from your combat boots, the wooden door swings on its hinges, the lock broken.
The apartment is a small two-bedroom. You emerge into the living room, where dusty children's toys are still strewn over a carpet. The sofa has peeled and torn apart, presumably by wild animals, and the wallpaper's been scratched apart. Light streams in through the back windows, as the blinds have mostly fallen to pieces. To the right is a hallway and to the left is the kitchen.
