For the Sirene Manor Door, if you're coming back to it later, better to start at the Sewing Atelier and backtrack. Going from the dancing classes means you're traversing most of the level. From the Sewing Atelier flag, go back out the archway to the right, then up the stairs, left at the top of the stairs, and up the rope. Follow the path to the grapple points, cross both, and then just go straight (past the fading man) and you'll run into the door.

both are down there. I almost missed the shape of energy. The stairs that lead you back to the kitchen, if you turn around before going through the door to the kitchen and start to come back down the steps instead, you can see the pinkish item glow coming from a box behind the steps. Thats the shape of energy
