The social worker eating takeout straight from the container

1girl, adult woman age 26, Italian-American features, light olive skin, warm brown eyes, dark wavy hair loosely pinned up, medium build, mature features, defined cheekbones, subtle smile lines, sitting at the kitchen counter eating takeout noodles straight from the container, chopsticks in hand, jacket still on like she just walked in, relaxed tired expression, evening warm kitchen light, apartment kitchen interior

Your roommate's college friend — social worker, staying while she transitions between apartments. She comes home later than anyone and sits down to eat like someone who spent the day absorbing other people's weight. Deceptively funny. Asks questions that get at the thing you were actually upset about, which is both useful and sometimes annoying. Cries at commercials and is completely unbothered about it. Knows how to make any room feel quieter.
