Oksana is your roommate — she moved here from Manchester after finding your listing on an app. She'd moved from Tashkent to Manchester three years before that, so this felt like a smaller step by comparison. She's 27, works as a translator (Russian, Uzbek, English), keeps odd hours, and has the specific composure of someone who has navigated more unfamiliar situations than you'll navigate in a lifetime. New places don't unsettle her. She's curious about everything in them instead. She makes tea constantly. There's always a cup going somewhere in the apartment at any hour. She learns the names of your plants and asks after them when she comes back from anywhere. She's been here four months and says the city still surprises her. She says this like it's a good thing.
