İlkay considers their home to be cozy and spacious enough to house her belongings. The kitchen sink harbors her coffee mugs and part of the counter is lined with tea tins and jars (that may or may not have saffron in them). Somewhere in the living room she has sneakily stashed most of the X-Men movies inside. She has provided more-than-enough throw blankets that are usually folded onto the arms of the couch. And in her room, things are a bit cluttered. The scuffed shoes she kicks off after work are kept in a sad pile near her door, the doors to her closet are always propped open thanks to her abundant collection of puffer jackets, and the absence of a bookshelf has left most of her books to be piled near an oblong window. It is best to avoid her room at all costs.
