Room aspects: 7th floor
1: Doctor's Office. The whole apartment feels more like an office waiting room... or maybe a rubber room. Everything is white, soft and sterile, yet vaguely uncomfortable.
2: Ongoing research. Books and papers are stored everywhere. The material, mostly on psychology and related topics, is well organized and tidy but unusually ubiquitous.
