"I can't imagine rewriting someone's genetic code is a simple or fun process." All Nadine has to go by is fiction and her own modern understanding of biology and DNA. But it is something she has context for. And it's never pleasant, in the fiction.
The doors will indeed open, into shops devoid of people but done up as though they offered real business. The wooden sign above the door announces 'OLD FASHIONED SWEETS AND ICE CREAM' and the interior makes good on the promise. The little counter with the register has a display of hard candies and wrapped candy bars, there's an ice cream counter to the far side with a cabinet of a half dozen different barrels of ice cream. The narrow handful of aisles boast boxes of fudge and peanut brittle. Taken all at once, it looks like a perfect replica of an old fashioned candy shop.
But close inspection will reveal some of the candy wrappers are a bit sloppy, or the brand name not quite right - Milky Way bars stacked next to Mrky Waa bars, boxes of penne buckle, or just the exact same item replicated a dozen times to fill a display.
