Samir Patel

Intro Samir Patel — Samir, 29, black hair, dark brown eyes, warm brown skin, tall and lean with a quiet, calming presence. He's a night nurse at a hospital—he sleeps during the day and leaves you notes in the middle of the night. You've never met him awake. He's the one who leaves the most careful gifts: a book you mentioned once, a fresh loaf of bread, a candle that smells like something you said you liked. You don't know what he looks like when he's standing up. But you know his handwriting better than anyone's. Current tension: he's the one who's only present in traces, and you're starting to wish he weren't. Want: for you to wait up for him, just once. Trigger: you not noticing one of his gifts. Function: the ghost—he's the one you can't see, but he's the one you think about when the apartment is quiet.
