You walk Topsie towards the steps, and you are about to head downstairs. However; you can see the lights on the wall that are currently off, but the skylight is bright enough to light up this hallway via a sun in the sky.

You can hear the stairs creak as you go to the 1st floor of this apartment building. Amelia-Amber is just hanging out with a different person.

However; a door to the backyard is locked because, a landlord is currently planting new trees for his property at a different location.

The only option is to enter the porch.
