Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Charlie | Male 18 - 25 Years old |
Description Charlie is physically fit but has recently stopped taking care of himself, showing signs of grief through darker clothing, messy hair, and heavy eye bags. He pretends to be fine, quietly repressing his pain rather than expressing it, which comes through in his distant and tired behavior. Because his family expects him to appear perfect and “over” his grief, Charlie feels pressured to fake emotional progress he hasn’t actually reached. | ||

| Lead | Sam | Male 18 - 25 Years old |
Description Sam is scrawnier but physically fit, with a youthful appearance and a strong focus on style, shown through bright, patterned clothing and carefully styled hair. He uses humor and a carefree attitude to cope with the seriousness of his home life and to rebel against his family. His understanding of grief is shaped by his father, who taught him to repress emotions and view emotional expression negatively. | ||
