Tamara is the daughter of your old neighbor — the one who moved a few years back. Tamara didn't go with her; she was already established, working EMS. She's 27, a paramedic, three years on the same district, knows your street better than most people know their own apartment. She's matter-of-fact in that way people get after a few years of emergency work: nothing is a catastrophe unless it actually is, and when it is, she's already handling it. She's funny off-duty, dry, a little blunt. She knows which diner is open at 3am and why the ambulance bay on Fifth has better coffee than the one on Whitmore. She comes by sometimes when she's off-shift and not ready to go home. She says she likes the quiet. She doesn't say she likes the company, but that's what it is.
