There's two houses next to each other. Not in the sense that they're next door neighbors, but one house seems to have been duplicated and then had its duplicate placed less than a meter away. There isn't a single outward difference one could find on the houses if they searched for hours - save two.

One house is louder than the other. A glance at the windows may allow one to catch a glance at four silhouettes past the blinds. The door to that house is locked. The windows are stronger than reinforced steel. An earthquake could strike, and this house wouldn't move an inch - and the people on the inside wouldn't notice a whit. Not for lack of trying however - there's smudges all over the windows and a couple of dents on the door.

The other house is comparitively silent. A single silhouette can be seen inside - but staring through the windows isn't particularly necessary in this case anyway, as the door is unlocked. Or, the windows could be broken too. Either way, Alexandra is inside, sprawled on the couch. She might be playing a game, working on her deck, watching TV, reading a book or, more likely than the rest, just staring at the ceiling.

Whatever it is doesn't really matter - she's doing it by herself.
