The living room itself is fairly uninspiring. It's neat--very neat, much neater than it probably would have been when their father lived there. Akira likes his things to be crisp and clean and it's clear an effort has been made to tidy the place up despite the fact that it isn't the nicest building. The carpet has been recently vacuumed and the couch is old. The television isn't on and there are some DVDs stacked next to it. There's a stack of magazines on the coffee table, mostly political or whatever Recolle's equivalent of "Discovery" is.
The bookshelf is fairly empty--most of the books Akira cares about are in his own room--but a few mismatched fiction novels are stacked neatly on one shelf. There's a photo frame that's been turned face down. If inspected, it will show a picture of the boys with their father. One of Goro's high school pictures is in its own frame on the wall, as are a couple of Akira's achievement awards.
No, the living room itself isn't terribly interesting. ]
