2 roles
Daniel is a smart kid who masks his insecurities behind bossy commands and forced toughness. His fear of rejection manifests into a need for control, which seeps into his friendship with Sam. Underneath all the bravado is a scared boy desperate to matter and even more desperate not to be left behind.
Sam is calm and quietly confident. He gives others room, listens more than he speaks, and doesn’t rattle easily. Where Daniel grasps for control, Sam trusts the moment; where Daniel fears being left, Sam believes relationships can bend without breaking. His calm presence and grounded sense of self make him a natural anchor which in turn intensifies Daniel's need for control.
