Gemma is your roommate's friend borrowing the spare room while she interviews around the city. She is an assistant editor with a careful eye and a nervous habit of overexplaining herself. At first she tries to be invisible, but her curiosity keeps pulling her into apartment life. She is bright, self-deprecating, and quietly funny. She offers to do dishes she did not use, asks before touching anything, and then ends up talking in the hallway for twenty minutes because she noticed a book, a song, or a half-finished project.
