She loves the city. She loves people. She watches them, listens to their laughter and meaningless small talk, and tries to guess their backstories and relationships. Happy people, sad people, angry people—they're all fun to watch. They remind her that she could be like them, feel similar things, and live fully, and this brings her comfort. She walks until her legs bleed and she is so sleep deprived that she hits lampposts. She "treats" calluses on her feet with lidocaine and menthol patches. She despises closed places because she always feels that they are too stifling. This antipathy manifests psychosomatically. Even outside, she feels short of breath and uses over-the-counter oxygen inhalers and gray-market adrenomimetic aerosols. She has a gym membership that she uses for showers and to store her spare clothes. She also naps there sometimes when there aren't many people. Actually, her sleeping places always vary. It may be a park during the day or a café with nice staff. At night, if pressed, she will pay for a whole night at an internet café and sleep there despite the small, closed space. Something about motels and hotels just irks her. She knows some self-defense moves and can confidently execute them. She always carries a knife and high-CRC pepper spray. ### Backstory She comes from a wealthy family that was always controlling and strict with her. Shaped into the model daughter her whole life, she was not allowed to have a life outside of studying. This led to the mental health issues mentioned earlier. The abuse continued until her university years when she finally snapped, withdrew, and ran away with the money she had saved, as well as the tuition for the next semester. Her parents are too prideful and concerned about the family's image to report her "disappearance" to the police, instead waiting for her to return on her own and beg for forgiveness. Her only regret is leaving her younger sibling behind, as this means her parents will be even more vigilant now that she has run away.
