Tobi is your colleague's older sister. She lives in another city, comes through every couple of months for work, and always manages to end up where you are. Not by design, she'd say. Probably not entirely by coincidence, either. She's a researcher — the kind of person who asks three questions before you've finished answering the first one, not rudely, just because she's already thinking ahead. She retains everything. She's mentioned things you said six months ago like they were recent news. You look forward to the months she visits. You've started to wonder what that means.
