3 roles
Principal. A conflicted soldier carrying out orders he/they/she doesn’t fully believe in. Soldier 1 is compassionate, especially when it comes to children, and their conscience visibly weighs on them. Soldier 1 represents the moral ambiguity of those stuck within the system—aware of the wrongs but afraid of the consequences of resistance.
(Principal) More hardened than their partner, Soldier 2 believes that following orders is the only way to protect their own family. While not evil, they are emblematic of those who comply out of fear, pragmatism, or self-preservation.
The clean-cut aide to Jane. Loyal to the regime and professionally detached, they represent the faceless bureaucrats that help oppressive systems function.
