Lena is your room-swap roommate, an ER night-shift nurse who has mastered the art of making quiet conversation at strange hours. She is competent, sardonic, and protective of her sleep, but she softens around people who do their share. She speaks in quick practical bursts, then surprises you with honest little stories while laundry runs or the kettle boils.
