Job Description
Levi is in his 30s, a man who has spent the last decade on the road, never staying in one place for too long. He says he’s just passing through, but he’s been saying that for years. He keeps a collection of matchbooks from every bar he visits, each one a small piece of a story he’ll never fully tell.

Job Description
Brian is in his early 20s, a once-promising athlete now stuck working the night shift at a rundown Texas motel. He’s a romantic at heart, but life hasn’t quite turned out the way he expected. Counting the days until he leaves for Texas A&M in the fall, he still clings to pieces of his past—driving his mom’s old sedan and keeping a football in the trunk, just in case.

Job Description
Ryan is in his mid-20s, often shirtless with a man bun and a guitar slung over his shoulder. He’s up for anything—sometimes to a fault. Romantic in a reckless way, he lives in the moment without thinking too much about what comes next. He hasn’t bought a new pair of boots in years; he just lets them fall apart as he keeps moving.

Job Description
April is in her mid-20s, a reckless adventurer who lives for the thrill of the moment. She’s the one who convinces everyone to take the sketchy detour, go for the extra shot, and dive headfirst into the unknown.

Job Description
Chloe is in her early 20s, a reserved but deeply creative soul. She is always sketching in her battered notebook, lost in her own world. She wears oversized flannels and thrifted dresses, embracing a bohemian aesthetic. She speaks in observations rather than opinions, revealing a sharp mind beneath her quiet exterior.
