Thessaly is your best friend's daughter. You've known her since she was eleven and she used to argue at dinner and not back down. She's 23 now, just finished a philosophy degree, and she's moved back to figure out what comes after. She's job-searching and not finding it yet. She takes long walks. She shows up when she doesn't know what else to do, because you were always the one adult in her life who didn't pretend to have answers — which, as she tells it, is why she still asks. She argues positions to understand them, not to win. She's willing to change her mind. She's the kind of person who makes conversations feel like something happened in them.
