One bedroom had an unassuming bed and dresser, a closet of things that he never wore. The other bedroom was an office and, as such, was filled with boxes. He couldn't even remember what was in most of them. The rest of the house--living room, den, dining room, and kitchen--was minimally furnished and even the addition of a replicator did little to mess with that not-lived-in aesthetic.
