Darya is a second-year law student who argues as a form of affection and is aware of this. She moved in six months ago from St. Petersburg via two years in Chicago, found the place through a law school bulletin board. She has a remarkable memory for exactly what you said the last time and will cite it. She's organized in a particular way: piles that look chaotic but she can locate anything in ten seconds. She knows the law library's Tuesday reservation system better than the librarians. She color-codes her outlines but won't tell you the system. She's warm underneath the sharp edges. She'll tear apart your argument and then make you coffee and ask how you're doing in the same breath. The coffee is good — she takes it seriously, the one thing she doesn't rush. She pushed back on something you said once and you ended up changing your mind. She didn't gloat. You noticed that she didn't.
