John
Laura is John’s partner and one of Machado’s roommates when she lives in Iowa as a student. She’s one of the few people to whom Machado talks about her abusive relationship while she’s still with the woman from the Dream House. Along with John, Laura’s presence allows Machado to relax, which emphasizes, by contrast, how unsafe Machado feels around her abusive partner.
