Do you mind if I look around?

This is the third time in 24 hours you’ve forgotten something.

With no annoying distractions, I’m almost finished with my novel.

You definitely had some annoying habits.

You giggle when you text, which is a 24/7 addiction.

Well, at least it’s not a migraine-inducing typewriter hammering into my head.

You over-commit to clubs and activities and then complain about them nonstop.

You could gas an entire small village with the amount of perfume you spritz.

And that’s just off the top of my head.

In fact, Yoko and I are so in sync that she’s begging me to be her new roomie. Permanently.

Don’t let me hold you back.

When there’s a falling-out, I like to get both girls’ perspectives on what happened.

Ultimately, thieves turn on each other. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

Deflect all you want, but you and I both know that you care about Enid.

And you have to admit she managed to bring out a spark of warmth in you.

Barely perceptible to the average eye, but I noticed.

Part of the dorm experience is making friends with people that you wouldn’t normally connect with.

I would rather buy a rope.

Is it really so difficult for you to admit that you made a friend, and...

...now that she’s gone you might actually miss her?

1. What are Enid's bad habits? What are Wednesday's bad habits? Whose are worse?
2. Do you or any of your friends have any similar bad habits?
3. Part of the dorm experience is making friends with people that you wouldn’t normally connect with. And those friendships often turn into lifelong bonds.
   
   Do you agree? Do you have an experience or friendship like this?
4. Have you ever had a roommate (a shared room or a shared house)? What did you argue about? What were his or her most annoying habits? What do you think that person would complain/say about you?
5. What is your (ex) girlfriend's/boyfriend's/wife's/husband's worst habit? Do you complain to her or him about it directly? Does it help?
6. Wednesday clearly likes Enid, but she says nothing when Enid moves out. If you were in Wednesday's position, would you let Enid go without expressing your feelings? Why or why not?
7. Wednesday says she enjoys solitude. How is solitude different from loneliness? Can you relate these concepts to your own experiences?
8. What do you think will happen next between Wednesday and Enid?
