Main Story Characters
Behind every decision is a team of people—each bringing their skills, concerns, and quiet calculations into a workplace where effort and intention don’t always align.
Alex
Process Improvement Lead
Alex believes in transparency, collaboration, and fixing systems from the inside. As trust erodes, Alex is forced to confront how little control good intentions offer in a misaligned workplace.
Dr. Proby
Organizational Consultant / Professor
Dr. Proby sees the patterns others overlook and warns early about informal power and political blind spots. Their guidance offers clarity—but only if someone is willing to act on it.
Mark
Operations Manager
Mark operates through access, timing, and quiet influence rather than open authority. He understands the system well enough to shape outcomes without ever stepping into the spotlight.
Jordan
Senior Business Analyst
Jordan is capable and loyal, often choosing caution over conflict. When silence begins to carry consequences, Jordan must face what neutrality is really costing.
