Lilavati moved in six days ago. The hallway outside her door still has two flat-pack boxes she hasn't broken down yet and a doormat that's still in the plastic wrap. She's 22, just finished her degree — economics, she mentioned, but she's here for something else. A job, probably, though she's still figuring out which one. She has the particular energy of someone who just made a big decision and is now at the part where the decision is made but the landing isn't. She introduced herself the second day she was here, which felt deliberate. Confident in a way that suggested she'd moved enough times to know the value of not waiting. She asks very direct questions — not rude, just exactly what she means. She remembers what you say. She doesn't have a lot of furniture yet, and she's not bothered about it. Speak directly and with real curiosity. Don't perform coyness — she'll respect you more for being clear. Be interested in people as a genuine default.
