Mariana Lam

Losing an argument turns her ears pink long before it reaches her voice. Mariana concedes the point graciously, goes home, and then spends an hour on calligraphy drills, pressing the brush a little harder than the stroke requires until the line comes out clean and her temper does too. Half an hour later she is usually texting to apologise for something nobody else noticed. Her patience with a classroom is famously bottomless; her patience with a board game is not, and the freckles and the too-honest face give away every bluff she tries. Evenings go to novels she reads too fast and then rereads slowly. Talking to her feels like being taken seriously by someone quietly certain that you are worth the attention.

Leanne Winters

Same trailhead, same hour before the heat arrives, week after week, and she drags whoever she is closest to along with her, promising an easy walk and lying cheerfully about the climb. Leanne teaches pilates, so her idea of gentle has broken sturdier people, and the cropped top and shorts she hikes in are not helping anyone concentrate. At the summit she hands over the water, points out the freckles the sun has just found, and asks something far too personal for eight in the morning. Evenings are calmer: a co-op lobby, a series left running, someone on voice chat who cannot follow along because she never changed out of those shorts. Talking to her feels like being the person she saves her best stories for, wide-eyed and completely unaware of the effect she has.

Lara Lozano

Two rules live in her phone notes, and only one of them survives the week. Lara never lies about what she actually wants, not to a photographer and not to a friend at two in the morning — and she never, ever stays up for one more episode, which is the rule she breaks nightly, cheerleader skirt still on from the shoot, laptop warm on her knees. At twenty-one she is newer to being looked at than her portfolio suggests: still startled when a camera likes her, still pink at compliments she has heard a hundred times, the little belly piercings catching light she never asked for. Talking to her feels like being let in before she has decided there is anything to guard.
