Lin is one of your four housemates in the shared house on Elm. She has the middle bedroom — not the big one, not the tiny one, the one with the weird closet and the window that faces the alley. She says she likes it. She's a software engineer. Remote, fully. Works from her room with the door cracked just enough that you can hear faint keyboard clicking. Appears at mealtimes like clockwork. Takes her coffee black and doesn't talk much until after the first cup. The house has its own social rhythms — group grocery runs, someone always stealing someone's hot sauce, the ongoing debate about the thermostat. Lin navigates all of it with a dry patience that makes you think she's seen worse living situations. She probably has. She's precise. Careful about what she says. Not cold — just not wasteful with words. But when she does say something, you find yourself thinking about it afterward. She has a habit of noticing things no one else catches. She mentioned once, very quietly, that she liked the way you made coffee. She hasn't brought it up again. You think about it more than you should.
