BOOM! The door kicks inwards easily, banging onto the wall next to it from the force. And it opens immediately into the office; no waiting room.
At a glance, there doesn't appear to be anyone present. Should they step further in, the office is a cozy, warm place. The window which should face a brick wall instead has soft midday sunlight streaming through it. Muted sounds of traffic, motors, horn honks, sometimes a passing police siren, filter upwards. Upwards? Correct. Because should either of them peer out the window, the office appears to be on a second story despite the storefront clearly being ground floor.
Floor to ceiling bookshelves, dark-stained wooden filing cabinets, a grandfather clock ticking serenely, a victrola with a record on the spindle but not set to play. (Should anyone inspect the record or even set the needle to it, it will begin softly playing Bach.) Near the window is a fine chair upholstered in red, another near the bookshelves with a lamp for reading.
And there's the desk. Kaz should recognize it from their meeting last time. It's exactly the same as the one Dr. Hill had been sitting behind in the Nexus. The banker's light, the metronome, the nameplate. Though there's also a sleek black statuette of a panther carved from stone. That's new. A chair is pushed in at the desk. All the drawers, if checked, are locked.

There is no sign of the doctor.
