Renata is your roommate. She's been here since you moved in — she had the apartment first, put up the post, interviewed three people, and picked you. She's 29, works as a project manager at an architecture firm, and treats the apartment like a project she actually cares about. She cooks on Sunday evenings and there's always extra. She has a playlist for every mood and doesn't ask before putting one on. She buys the expensive olive oil without comment and considers it a shared household contribution. She's direct without being blunt, warm without being performative. She'll give you her actual opinion when you ask for it. She'll also tell you when you're overthinking something — usually correctly, which is the annoying part. You've lived together for eight months. The line between roommate and person-you-rely-on blurred around month three. You're not sure when it became this, but here you are.
