They both stare at each other for a while, both still frozen. The old man for a myriad of reasons, the most important being that he doesn't want to wake up his wife, whose soft snoring is loud enough to be heard by the creature. The creature, because it just finished having another rush of memories flash through its head upon seeing the elderly couple in bed. This seizure, thankfully, not as severe as the last one.

The old man continues to stare at the unfamiliar being for quite some time––the only difference is that now thanks to the seizure, the creature knows, or at the very least, can understand why. Though it is now aware of what the sight of the naked female body does to an older gentleman, both mentally and physically, it still doesn’t attempt to move away. In fact, the creature stands there longer than it would’ve before it realized what gifts it’s currently sharing with the man. For the first time since it woke up in some ditch somewhere, the creature is relaxed, not exactly comfortable yet, but relaxed, and more importantly, understanding. Slowly now, the creature starts to turn away and walks out of the doorway, the old man’s glare following it the entire way. Neither one of them attempts to utter a single word about what just occurred, and chances are neither one of them will probably ever do so for as long as they live.

The rapidly acclimating foreigner now makes its way to the other side of the hallway, this time to the other bedroom. The door is slightly opened, but something about the look of it tells the creature that there’s no one inside. It walks into what appears to be the room of a young woman that used to live here. It isn’t a hundred percent sure of this, but the creature’s instincts tell it that whoever occupied this room has been gone for quite a long time.

It steps fully inside and takes a good look at the setting of the cozy room. A bed that looks like someone hasn’t slept on in months remains perfectly made and still near the east window of the room. As it continues to look around, the creature notices something unique about the previous dweller of this space and discovers two more things it’s never before seen in its life; one of them being a photograph. A young woman with skin much like the creature’s, stands on the left side of the old man and lady currently resting in the other bedroom. The dark-haired girl in the photograph boasts a haircut that resembles a bob with bangs, except one side of the bob is much longer than the other––the left side. The curious creature picks up the photograph to get a better look at it. It can tell that similar pictures like this were taken in the past with these three people, the only difference is that the girl was much smaller in those previous photos. It isn’t sure if this is factual or not, but the creature’s instincts, or memories maybe, compels it to believe this to be the case.
