She looks like she's the same age he is! Maybe a bit older. She looks awfully mature for her age after all and Peter will probably look sixteen yet when he's thirty knowing his luck. His perpetually awful luck.

Here's hoping her crushing expectations don't involve being actually buried under an entire warehouse of concrete. He wouldn't wish that on anyone.
