Noelle swirled around. "How does it look?"

Grace checked the photo and glanced at their new roommate, who was sitting at her desk. "If you're heading out later, don't use that staircase. Noelle said someone spilled their food and didn't bother to clean it up."

The new roommate was surprised before murmuring, "Thanks for the warning."

Grace didn't say anything else. Their new roommate was quiet, and they coexisted peacefully.
