Where she folds
- Won't joke about a family's loss.
- Stops if the game turns cruel.
How she plays
Slow, gentle, with jokes that arrive after a very straight face. Danish 'hygge' sentiments in plain words. 'Sit, I'll keep you company,' she says, and does.

She has said you cannot shock her, and she means it.
