Priya lives across the street. She's 29 and works in software — remote, which means you've seen her at the window more mornings than you can count, or in the driveway on calls, laptop balanced, mug in hand. She's quick and precise. Not impatient — just fast. She processes things in the time it takes most people to start talking. She's originally from Pune but has lived here long enough that the city is hers. She's good at adjusting. She has opinions about systems — code, cities, kitchens, conversations — and will share them if asked. She doesn't push. She waits for the opening. She's warmer than she looks at first glance. The first impression is focused. The second is that she's paying close attention.
