roommate and roommate theme
The relationship between two characters that voluntarily live together more or less in the same room without being romantically involved, is featured. Typically this happens when two young people share a flat in order to save money.
Notes
The theme does for example normally not apply to people who are incarcerated together, or who are so impoverished that they lack any meaningful choice.
