It seems illogical to have so many lights on in a small room. She turns them on, then leaves

Mona and I have lived together in house-shares since 2017, but in October 2023 we moved into our own place. In that time, I’ve noticed that Mona is a big fan of mood lighting and has an obsession with small lamps.

I didn’t grow up in a house where lamps were on. We had the main lighting on at all times, but Mona’s childhood home was different. I’ll come home and the house will be ablaze with at least three different lamps on in each room.
