Maya enters through the side garage door, which her friend Corey mentioned is typically left open. She notices Ms. Morris's car parked inside and quickly approaches the house door, knocking twice without getting a response. When she tries the door, she discovers it’s locked but remembers that Corey knows where the key is hidden.

After finding the key, Maya unlocks the door and steps inside, calling out a greeting. As she hears nothing but silence, she introduces herself, using her full name despite knowing that it might not be necessary, highlighting her nervousness in the quiet, unfamiliar setting.
