J: What are you doing?
I: I am walking, to the house, the house with many windows
J: Do you go inside?
I: I’m almost there. I see the door, there is a number. Number IV. I knock the door. I look through a window. It is dark
J: Do you go inside?
I: The door is closed. I ring the bell. It rings inside. Nobody answers
