The side f the seat consists of more wood panels, as does the wall next to the seat. The doll sits among plastic cups with various imagery on them such as brand names and illustrated humanoid figures, with some cups turned upside down to hold another cup on top of them. The window the doll sits next to looks out on a road that runs past a building with a triangular roof. Inside the doll's room and to the left of the window is a dark curtain covering most of the wall and a plant with a thick stem and multiple large, triangular leaves.
