Tom is an 8–10-year-old boy and Grandmother’s grandson. He has a deep desire to be creative, but his hunger constantly affects his focus. Unlike other kids who might rely on strength, Tom depends on his intelligence and considers himself smart. However, more than being smart, he is obedient—he follows the rules, even when he questions them. No matter how much he doubts authority, the moment an authority figure steps in, he submits, even against his own will.
John is Tom’s cousin, roughly the same age—8 to 10 years old. A natural manipulator, he believes the world is his for the taking; all he has to do is play the game his way. He is cunning, intelligent, and knows exactly how to pit people against each other to get what he wants. And in this moment, he wants only one thing—to steal all of Tom’s steak.
