Pearl’s roommates are…earnest, to put it mildly.

Gem works at the local park. Knows the place like the back of her hand, or so I’ve been told. The first time we met, she offered to take me on a hike, which I had to politely refuse since I’m not exactly the hiking type. Gem always seems to have a story to tell, though I’m not sure how inclined I am to believe her given the involvement of some ‘mysterious creature’ in a lot of them.

Impulse, I know the least about. He’s friendly, certainly, and I can’t help but trust his easy-going demeanor, but I know so little about him. I think he works some sort of archival job because he seems to know a great deal about the town, but when I asked how long he’s lived at the Hollow, he just got this odd look on his face.

Despite their idiosyncrasies, they make for nice company. I still don’t know where I stand in this town. I still feel like an outsider, unsure of my place where people already seem to know eachother. But with Gem and Impulse, somehow I feel like I somewhat belong somewhere.
