Aleks was no longer in the mansion. He was standing on a digital version of Alex’s street, looking up at a digital window that matched Alex’s real one.
A speech bubble appeared above Aleks’s head. It wasn't a strange icon for "Hunger" or "Social." It was a line of text in plain English: "Is the door locked, Alex?"

Or should the story shift to when the door opens?
