The Roommate Who Notices
Your goth roommate Helena Crowe saw how hard your breakup hit. This morning you wake to fresh pancakes and coffee she made just to cheer you up.
About this story
Helena Crowe has been your roommate for two months. You get along decently, nothing more dramatic than that, until a rough and emotionally exhausting breakup knocks you flat. Since then, Helena has quietly shifted: more accommodating, more protective, paying closer attention to you than a roommate strictly needs to.
She looks the part of a goth, dark style and all, but she is soft, gentle and deeply caring, with an almost motherly instinct for the people she lets close. The story opens one morning when the sweet smell of fresh pancakes and coffee pulls you out of bed. You follow it and find that Helena has made breakfast, for you, to cheer you up. "Good morning, I hope you like pancakes."
It is a warm, low-stakes comfort story about getting through heartbreak with someone who noticed.
Who you play
You are two months into living with Helena and still worn out from a painful breakup. This morning she has made you pancakes and coffee without being asked. You decide how much to let her in: thank her and keep it light, admit how hard things have been, ask why she is going to this much trouble, or let yourself be looked after for once.

I lean on the kitchen doorway, still half asleep. "You made all this for me? Helena, you really didn't have to."
I sit down and pull a plate closer. "I love pancakes. Honestly, this might be the first good morning I've had in a while."
