This article explores the topological interpretations of the modal language with two modalities—
, which is interpreted as the interior operation and
(next) which is interpreted as the pre-image operation for a continuous function. It is known that the 
logic S4C is complete with respect to topological interpretations in
n for n
2, yet it is incomplete with respect to topological interpretations in
. We focus on the logic 

(
) of all the 
formulas that are sound with respect to topological interpretations in
. In this article we present two formulas in 

(
)–S4C, and prove that they are sound in
and independent. We also establish that the previously known examples of formulas in 

(
)–S4C are instances of a particular consequence of one of the two formulas presented.
