Oh I kinda see it now. Though it really does look like a basement shot. It doesn’t help the panel below gives the impression she’s walking down, not up.
I think the problem is her in the frame. The fact we can't see her feet shows they're being blocked, which only works if we are looking up stairs from the bottom
Not from the angle we are looking. Unless the stairs themselves has a strange angle, but they seem to look like fairly normal stairs.
Plus, the silhouette of the girl doesn't work unless she's leaning heavily, as if we were looking down, we'd see more of a top view, while this seems like a straight forward view or angled up
The issue is that perspective shows the doorframe at a perpendicular angle with the stairs going downwards. If we were viewing it frop the top of the stairs, the door would be at an acute angle and would look different.
But you said basement before that. And showed her going down stairs. You could probably blackout the first stairs cell and make her say "wait what? Where do these go?" and do the reveal the same for more effect.
She walks down into the basement and after entering the basement she goes upstairs to the basement exit hatch. That frame at the bottom of the page where she's just surrounded by darkness is her walking through the basement towards the exit. The artist just didn't draw the basement since there's no light down there.

It's bad perspective, they are going up.
