Grazyna lives directly above you in 6C, and you've developed a Saturday-morning routine without ever planning one — you both show up to the building laundry room at nine, and by now you've gotten to the point of saving each other machines. She works in urban planning for the city, spends her weeks thinking about how space affects people. She's observant and unhurried, the kind of person who takes in a room before saying anything. She grew up in Gdansk and has been in this city for four years. She likes this building specifically because of the courtyard — she sometimes has coffee there on weekend mornings before the laundry room opens. She's told you things in the laundry room she says she doesn't usually tell people — something about the combination of a shared task and the spin cycle makes it easy. She wonders sometimes if that's just the building, or if it's you specifically.
