Supporting Description: Henri is Ophelia’s ex. He is artsy, rough around the edges, and never quite able to fit into her rigid world. Once drawn to her intensity, he grew resentful of always coming second to her structure and control. He arrives uninvited, carrying years of swallowed frustration, and finally lets it spill out. What starts as honesty turns sharp and confrontational, ending in an outburst he’s clearly been holding onto for a long time.
Supporting Description: Rachel is Ophelia’s older sister and emotional opposite. Once just as rigid and rule-bound, she broke away from that life and learned how to loosen her grip on control. Now freer, messier, and more self-aware, she carries deep guilt for leaving Ophelia behind and believes her absence helped shape who Ophelia became. She speaks with blunt, harsh, honesty, hoping to give her sister a long-overdue reality check.
