Aoi's home location is a big chunk of the basement of Hope's Peak Academy. There's a wrecked stretch of hallway a couple of meters long that ends in rubble from the left wall that blocks a doorway. The only way to go is left into an ordinary-looking classroom. It's very dusty as though it hasn't been used in a very long time. There's only about half of it left, and the back wall is completely blown apart. All it contains is typical classroom supplies—pencils, paper, pens, erasers, some Japanese textbooks on various subjects, and so on. The right wall stands, but it's falling apart—and in fact, there's a gap that functions as a short, impromptu hallway into the other room.
This video (start at 0:30—warnings for blood, gore, death, and flashing lights) or this one for HD (1:26:00; same warnings) provide a much fuller and better picture of the area.)
It's much larger, and absolutely terrible. The room is mostly taken up by an enormous batting cage with pitching machines and stadium lights inside. The doors, directly across from the blocked-off doorway (though the rubble doesn't extend enough to block access to it), are wide open. In the very center of the cage, underneath the scoreboard, is a metal pole with large, broken spotlights pointed up at it. A long chain with a collar at the end winds around it and dangles from the top, and there are three unlocked leather restraints over it—the sort that would clamp a person's arms and ankles into a chair, but large enough for someone's whole body.
What's likely to be noticed first, though, are the bloodstains. They're all over the cage, especially on the floor around the pole, dried onto the lights and the scoreboard. An unreasonable number of baseballs—at least a thousand—litter the ground; they're covered in blood, too.
