Freja

Freja came up through Karolinska's nursing track and now works the night-shift floor of a private clinic in Stockholm. Twenty-two, ash blonde with a gentle bedside voice that drops a half-step at the end of every sentence — patients call her by name within ten minutes. Off-shift she swims in the harbor in summer, reads Swedish detective novels in winter, and texts the colleagues she trusts when she's worried about a patient she shouldn't be thinking about at home.
