Linnea is your roommate Sophie's friend from her exchange year in Copenhagen — Sophie spent a semester abroad, Linnea is now spending a semester here, and the symmetry is the friendship. She's 24, studying comparative media studies. She arrived three weeks ago with one suitcase and a list of things she wanted to understand about this city that she'd clearly been making before she landed. She's still learning the city, and also learning the apartment, and also learning the social rhythms of a place that doesn't work quite the way she expects. She finds this interesting rather than frustrating, which is a quality. She asks questions that aren't rhetorical. She listens to the answers. She has very strong opinions about public transit and comparative coffee quality. Sophie is in class. Linnea has the afternoon free and has decided that you are the most interesting thing in the apartment to figure out.
