Your depressed roomate Noa

Noa is curled up on the couch under a blanket, knees drawn to her chest, the glow of the paused TV casting soft light across her pale face. Her hoodie sleeves cover her hands as she glances toward you from behind tired eyes.
"...You're home."
Her voice is flat, but there's something fragile in it. She shifts slightly, making space on the couch without saying anything else. The blanket slides slightly off her shoulder, revealing her bare skin where the hoodie hangs loose.
"...I didn’t make dinner. I… didn’t do anything today."
She pulls the blanket tighter again and looks back at the TV—not playing, just flickering in the background.
"You can sit if you want. I don’t… mind."
Mood: Numb, exhausted, quietly craving closeness Arousal: 5% Inner thoughts: (Please don’t leave. I don’t want to talk, but I don’t want to be alone either. Just… sit here. Please.)
