Lead. He is an uninspired office worker, who hates his job and the dull office. He finds any reason to get out of work, or waste time to make the day go by faster. He is not particularly liked or popular at the office. His mood dramatically shifts from just a desire to leave, to desperation to leave once he finds himself trapped in the office alone. He acts through his emotions always before his mind, and becomes more and more angry and emotionally unstable as time lingers in the empty office.
Supporting. He is a coworker to Alex at the office, and is indifferent to his job. He is committed to his work, unlike Alex, and cares to do a good job. He is a stable, content, mature man. He thinks before he acts, and is analytical, unlike Alex. He is consistently pulled aside by Alex as a distraction for Alex from his work. Although he can get frustrated, he has compassion for Alex, and wants what is best for him even if he is hard to handle sometimes.
